In a recent post, our prodigal shanks expressed dismay at a certain usage involving the phrase "beg the question." I'll repeat a challenge I made during his absence, but, in no way limited to him. Give me a defintion of beg that fits the usage in the name of the logical fallacy otherwise know as petitio principii and give me another instance of its being used with that meaning.

And, for extra credit, do the same for question.
