Since we are on a tangent anyway I've just realised that the current British PM just this week appeared to be using the non-standard definition when talking with a "homeless" man at a soup kitchen over Xmas. I think I'm this case the PM was corrected fairly quickly but the assumption that homeless means having fewer homes explains a lot of government policy

No it's worse, he asked the dude if he's in business hahaha
Imagine if the prime minister was LARPing a role in the service industry asked you that when you're living in a cardboard box

If you read the whole conversation it's not as bad as it sounds

I dunno, I've heard/read it and it is pretty bad - "What are you doing this weekend?" is about as tone-deaf as you can get towards a homeless person.

I have to agree with you on that point but I still think that the PM needs a lot more time at that soup kitchen before he starts understanding the problems it's actually his job to fix.
