Sure, you can make up your own definitions for words as much as you want. If you want, you can conflate the definitions of all kinds of criminal labels -- theft, rape, terrorism[1], etc. It's a time-honored tactic of those who seek to demagogue positions they oppose. But it makes a mockery of the serious crimes that those terms describe, and it does nothing to help you effectively communicate your own point of view.
