No, you are wrong. You can't define a word with that word, as any schoolteacher will tell you.

My teacher called it tolerance and civility.

I just polished my patent leather shoes on my itchy crinoline petticoat and mumbled the damn prayer. I was annoyed as it was not from my religion, but principals had spanking boards in the office. They were used on children who dared express opinions that deviated from the norm - called 'sassiness' when girls did it.

Damn, I really am older than dirt!
