Umm, That was your AI's lie. But I'm glad you finally agree it was
telling you BS.

Your AI didn't know that.

Smaller options have the names "unique to the region" such as
handle.

Did so too.

Did so too.

Well yes, you are a bit.

So obviously the brewery and coroner know more than you, and as
usual the AI doesn't know anything.

Wrong island.

They used the phrase and defined it, nothing on Google's going to
prove they meant something else.

No evidence which of those it paid attention to, if any.

They're trustworthy sources themselves, unlike random Reddit
threads which the AI was looking through.
