From Wikipedia: "In contrast to the generally accepted medical definition, the term pedophile is also used colloquially to denote significantly older adults who are sexually attracted to adolescents below the local age of consent,(1) as well as those who have sexually abused a child."

Words that have a formal meaning may also have a colloquial meaning that, while technically incorrect, is recognizable due to common usage. In other words, a word can have a common definition that goes beyond the technical or clinical definition.

In America, a person who has sex or tries to have sex with an underage person is termed a "pedophile." it is the popular term for such monsters, and I'll not stand for this hair-splitting by Tweety or his Republican buddies.

FOLEY IS A PEDOPHILE.
