Pretty much the same thing.

Sorry - but it isn't. Bullying is about psychological power, not physical size. Size can be an aspect of it!

You do understand English right ? By "smaller and weaker" everyone understood it's not about the physical aspect but the psychological one. A skinny midget can be a bully too. Nothing about looks.
Yes, there are people who are smaller and weaker in their mind so bigger and stronger people can take advantage of it. Do you get it ?

I get it - do you! edited You don't seem to understand that Vinnie is the one with the psychological power - in that situation with Alex. He does appear to be abusing it and throwing his weight around a bit. His constant digs at Alex have been uncomfortable at times. Many people have felt it and that is why so many believe it. That is bullying. Deny it all you like. And please don't excuse it as humour - we all know what a whitewash that can be!

edit It is a big subject - not black and white.

And I'm well informed on the subject because it's been part of my life so I'd recommend you not to think I know nothing about it. I looked for a simple and clear definition so everyone could understand it like crystal water.
And you didn't get it at first otherwise you wouldn't have ran your mouth for nothing, as usual.

As for Vinnie, Alex is a very strong boy and it is not bullying whatsoever. To me, Vinnie is being bitchy and most people (including you) don't seem to make the difference. And that's sad.

Yeah they use it for no apparent reason and that's annoying. People don't know what it means anymore so let's all remind them what is a bully:


Quote:
A person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people.

From thefreedictionary.com

Is that clear to everyone now ? Stop using this word when someone is having an argument. It's pointless and meaningless.

It's the way you say it - read it again, very pompous. You understand the meaning and noone else does! I don't think so!

I was just saying this word is used out of context most of the time and I'm fed up of it. Don't read too much into things, it wasn't my intention to look superior because I'm not.

Every year ,come rain or shine ,we have 2 words which do the rounds on a daily basis ,one being "bully" the other being "racist" same every year

I've only been here for a day so have no right to comment really but I agree that the word bully is used too much and always a quick card to play.
