    What a wild comment. You confirm that the phrase itself isn’t the issue, but rather how some people are misusing it for their own gain, and yet you manage to put the blame on the phrase itself.

    What would you expect to happen if the phrase changed to something else? That people wouldn’t twist and change its meaning to fit their needs? Is your plan to keep changing the phrase each time it gets misused, eventually leading to a scenario where the phrase and its meaning are completely separate?

    In scenarios such as this, its better to spread the word about the original intention of the phrase, rather than blaming it.
