It's a tactic of democratic circles where you redefine a term so it's not so offensive (supposedly). George Carlin does a great piece on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9n8Xp8DWf8

When you change the context of a word you are not technically telling a lie but you’re still an asshole for peddling marketing shit at the consumers.
