No, it's weird that people think that only those dumb looking quadrotor helicopters are "drones", when "drone" was originally a term used for an unmanned missile or aircraft decoy. This usage dates back to 1936 or earlier.

Some of the first non-apian drones to ever fly were "missiles".
You're going to have to invent time travel, go back over a century, and murder all of the people who started calling drones "drones" if you want to win this battle.
The mass media put its thumb on the scale, lambasting phenomena by reforging certain words to create a culture of fear and taboo using such example words as "hacker", "terrorist", and "drone".
