Yes, I did know the meaning; however, it’s an unusual word, and younger readers might be unfamiliar with it. Noted in “Trump’s U.N. ambassador says Iran ‘ceasefire’ is whatever Trump says it is,” Ja’han Jones, MS NOW:

Trump’s characterization of the so-called ceasefire with Iran is a prime example. Despite his suggestion Monday that it is “on life support,” it doesn’t seem to exist in the first place except in the president’s mind. Start with the fact that Trump has resisted calling the Iran war a “war” for what appear to be procedural reasons. The United States and Iran exchanged fire on Thursday, which apparently didn’t count. And similarly, Trump called U.S. strikes on Iran on Friday a “love tap,” suggesting he’s both hopelessly puerile for a man in his 80s and wary of the repercussions that may come with admitting the ceasefire has not ceased any of the firing.
