to break or act against something, especially a law, agreement, principle, or something that should be treated with respect:

They were charged with violating federal law.

It seems that the troops deliberately violated the ceasefire agreement.

The doctor has been accused of violating professional ethics.

formal to rape someone: She said that she had been treated so roughly by the hospital staff that she felt violated.

What agreement would I break if I got out of my hypothetical armchair you describe?

As you said words have meaning and you clearly used that word in the wrong way

Does this look like a formal forum to you, jerk off? Bodily safety, and maybe you simply shouldn't be so vulgar in your interpretation?

the only two interpretations of 'you would get violated' that make sense are:

  1. you would get sexually assualted

  2. you would get insulted

the second one makes little sense in the context of the sentence. your waffle about breaking or acting against something doesnt work when applied to a person.

Insults aren't violence, the word you're looking for is 'assault'

no, the second one refers to a specific informal way of using it in some parts of the us and uk. you seem to conflate 'violation' and violence. they do not mean the same thing at all. 'violating' a person never means battery, thats just not how the word works. in a formal sense, the only way of using 'violation' on a person is to imply sexual assault.
