Vocabulary words, Raid - Farm - Snipe

Is it just me or do half the people in CoC and the forum have their vocab backwards? It bugs me a lot!
Last I checked in the real world FARMING is growing a crop (resources) and then harvesting them (collecting from what you grew).
RAIDING is busting in someone's door and attacking or taking their things (stealing resources from OTHER PLAYERS)
SNIPING is a pinpoint strike (attacking a TH only)

Yet I see people say things like "I'm farming in champs for the league bonus taking out 50% or a TH" Wouldn't that be SNIPING & RAIDING as your not just collecting your own RSS!?
"I farm in 1700, I just Barch the TH8s." If your attacking them shouldn't you say I'm raiding TH8s in 1700?
I'm not a grammar Nazi but words usually have a meaning. If I say "I'm using GoWiPe in C2, 9 dragons 1 Lava Hound and 3 archers", that wouldn't be accurate? I'm a farmer does not mean you raid snipe and harvest your own resources. It means you DO NOT attack, the only resources you get come from YOUR collectors, NOT someone else. If you were farming them wouldn't that mean you grew them from something less to something more then harvested them?
Edit: Most ironic farming statement. " I'm farming in C3(where ever), loot sucks here." How would you know you aren't raiding anyone!?

Farming is an age old video game term which means killing the same things over and over again in prolonged periods. In MMO's its usually mobs (groups of NPC enemies), and in Clash of Clans its players (their collectors and storages more specific). get with the times, n00blord

It just means you're being a friendly neighbor.....harvesting their crops for them since they obviously are so busy they can't harvest their own.

Ya like I'd say I'm farming X dungeon in Diablo, or I'm Farming hogs in X woods in WoW, but you'd say I'm getting for a raid on so and so want to join me? Right?
In CoC people use farming for growing only or raiding. Don't call me a noon, I'd out game u in any PC console game son.

Take a chill pill...... They may not be grammatically correct, but seeing as everyone obviously knows what someone means when they use the terms, why worry about it?

They are grammatically correct, since the standard was set over 15 years ago.

Just a usual case of some redneck hillbilly who found video games last year, and is wondering what does these terms mean.
