@Phantom: Words gain new meanings over time. The meaning of different words changes over time. Remember the times Gay meant Happy instead of strictly Homosexual? Are you going to tell me it doesn't mean the latter now, even though: 1) Every uses it for such, 2) Every dictionary says it does?

It's the same with Anime. And with Weeaboo. Everyone uses it to mean X, just because it didn't originally mean X does it mean it doesn't now?

As for dictionaries, fair on the Urban Dictionary, which explains slangs.....but Oxford and Merriam-Webster are more profesional and of high renown, so I wouldn't dismiss them just like that. They list what different words mean, and I'd trust them, the profesionals, over you.
