There are 2 definitions to the word "entitle".
IE: You paid into SS, you are entitled to that money back (at a minimum) Hopefully it's there for you.
You served in the military, you are entitled to Va. services, etc.
Things or services that earned. Other than by being born.

The millennial definition of entitle is different. That definition provides for something that one thinks they are deserved of, which they did not earn or provide for.
IE: welfare, social programs, govt. cell phones, free internet, free college tuition, basically "gibs" me.
Based solely on their existence on the planet.

2 completely different definitions.

Thank you for these separate definitions, I'll take the first fo gotdamn sure thank you. Hell if things get super tight, I might take the second. But my upbringing will insure I don't think I deserve them.
