You know you’re in trouble when the dictionary comes after you.

Thanks for clarifying. I think @united confused 'volunteer' with 'tribute'. pic.twitter.com/P4j3NwDVgc

Apparently it means "get forcibly removed from your paid seat and dragged down the aisle like an animal".

You'll need to add a new definition for "re-accommodate." It's slang for mercilessly beating paying customers.

You KNOW it’s really bad if the dictionary is calling you out.
Good luck sorting that mess out, United!
