And as a followup, the most relevant of the many nkep precedents appears to be CFJ 2625 (which is almost exactly this situation, attempting to act on behalf of another player using a word that has not been publicly defined). I disagree with the outcome of that case (as you can see from the arguments), and I'm not sure it gives us any guidance for sorting out this situation anyway (as unlike in CFJ 2625, there's no reason to suppose that the player in question knows the meaning of the word, nor that they are paying enough attention to the game to object to an attempt to use it incorrectly). -- ais523
