I won’t stop watching, but it drives me nuts when lawyers in a show misuse “begs the question”

    I think there are probably about three people who use the expression "begs the question" as it's defined in books. Through misuse it has evolved to mean, "brings up the question," just as "based off" has come to mean the same as "based on".
