So, What Does it Mean... ?

For the love of God can people please stop throwing around the word terrorism - no one can seem to agree on any concrete definition of this word, this concept. Ideas such as "cold" or "up" are alot less subjective in comparison. Seems that nowadays, if someone disagrees with another person or groups ideals or methods, it's really hip and popular to say, "they're terrorists" or "they support terrorists".
Why can't words mean something dammit !
In November 2004, a United Nations Security Council report described terrorism as any act "intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act." ... HUH... ?
