People use the word monopoly very casually and rhetorically, but never correctly.

I blame the board game Monopoly. You get Board Walk and Park Place, and they call it a monopoly. Linguistic injustice!

Surely there's room to redefine the 'pure' definition of monopoly to include relative hegemony. No? Well that's how it's being used.
