jeffersondem: "And yet everyone on this board has seen the great American hero figure John Wayne use the word on the big screen.
And tens of millions of Americans have witnessed its use by the iconic American."

And yet I've never heard that word used in normal conversation, including here, and neither have you, or you'd cite the instances.
So all you've demonstrated is you watched some old movies.

Now you've made some kind of argument, however improbable, on two of the three unusual words, chivvied & tally book.
But no response whatever on "homestall", suggesting that is the real jeffersondem, peaking out from behind your FR cloak of invisibility.

That's why rockrr's point above is the correct one.

“And yet I’ve never heard that word used in normal conversation, including here, and neither have you, or you’d cite the instances.”

Have you already forgotten Tom Clancy and his use of the word (”had spent two weeks chivvying this division toward combat readiness.)?

This is kinda fun.
