However, when reading between the lines I think it becomes clear what you mean which is why I too oppose the critical comments.

Also, if the question was 'Is "palaver" still in use? (If so, in what part of the world is it used?) In what sense is it used?', I would like to know how am I not answering the question (not meaning to offend anyone, just curious)?
