Perhaps the problem is that a term with so many - and such varied - definitions has already lost its force of meaning. Some of what you described - and definitions 5 and 6 - is more precisely identified as "forceful, "rude" or "uncivil." I for one think there should be a strong demarcation between that and numbers 1 through 4. The word would have an unambiguous meaning then.
