Isn't language fun? :) I like that perspective too.

I don't think either idea is mutually exclusive. I lean more towards Adam's definition, but you can arrive at that "oh shit" realization by way of momentarily putting your privilege aside.

I don't have a pithy way of phrasing it like "check your privilege" but I try really hard to regularly think, "who's more likely to understand this situation better, me or them?" (Mostly?) the only people I see claiming to be oppressed who aren't are over-privileged white dudes.
