Okay, let's abolish the offensive. You may not even use satire. Satire is 
offensive.

It's velocity that's constant.

'what is' is not really the right question.

We - as human beings - define, what we want to express with a certain 
word or phrase.

Some humans do not agree to some of the definitions, but that's no big 
deal, since the majority (in this case of the physicists) decides, what 
should be expressed with e.g. the tern 'acceleration'.

I would say, your definition is roughly correct, but other words and/or 
symbols are possible as well, as long as the same concept is meant.
