Lol why is it when people make a bid and don't have what it shows, they just state a random definition for the bid that fits what they actually hold?

Because it's a good strategy to make your bid sound like the only correct choice!

I'll have to start using that more in the post mortems.

SOP for post mortems.

As an occasional partner, you know I utilize this method. :)
