It's one of those words where the meaning's shifted. But it also happens to be one where that really, really irritates me.  :-[

I feel the same way about the word "love" when used to describe the Christian God.

A lot of people don't believe that the loch ness monster exists. Now, I don't know anything about zooology, biology, geology, herpetology, evolutionary theory, evolutionary biology, marine biology, cryptozoology, palaeontology or archaeology... but I think... what if a dinosaur got into the lake?
