I mean, I'm not policing your words here, write how you want what do I care.

But you brought up the reasoning yourself, and when I find it flawed your response is "I don't need a reason".

Look man, you can say potato means underwear all you want, but if you start saying you're wearing potato under your pants people are going to look at you weird. You are not the only party involved in communication, and thus your preferences are only part of the equation, and people will interpret and process your words based on conventions, not just your personal thoughts on the matter.
