It seems pretty clear to me that it's all about context.
But whether you want to call it cheating or not, 'cheating' is not a very informative or useful label. If I told you that there was an organism at your back door, I could be referring to a bacterium or a rhinoceros. While the term 'organism' is obviously even broader than the term 'cheating,' both are so broad that their use to describe a particular set of facts is essentially an exercise in obfuscation.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is that the original poster's girlfriend has a rhinoceros at her back door. |

Frigaliment Importing Co. v. B.N.S. International Sales Corp.
190 F.Supp. 116 (S.D.N.Y. 1960)
The issue is, what is chicken?
Plaintiff says 'chicken' means a young chicken, suitable for broiling and frying. Defendant says 'chicken' means any bird of that genus that meets contract specifications on weight and quality, including what it calls 'stewing chicken' and plaintiff pejoratively terms 'fowl'. Dictionaries give both meanings, as well as some others not relevant here. To support its, plaintiff sends a number of volleys over the net; defendant essays to return them and adds a few serves of its own. Assuming that both parties were acting in good faith, the case nicely illustrates Holmes' remark 'that the making of a contract depends not on the agreement of two minds in one intention, but on the agreement of two sets of external signs -- not on the parties' having meant the same thing but on their having said the same thing.' The Path of the Law, in Collected Legal Papers, p. 178 |
