A bunch of my friends are calling me dumb for saying that fish don't breathe underwater. I know the word breathe is usually used to explain when a fish absorbs oxygen with it's gills, but the definition of breathe on google, and dictionary.com specify having lungs, which fish do not have.

If you think that the modern definition of words trumps the actual usage of them, you're gonna have a bad time. That also goes for their etymology.
