Dictionary.com is an excellent data source. However, deviance, like many things, is in the eye of the beholder. Some may believe deviance is pre-marital sex, smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, group-sex, fellatio, dancing, stripping, gambling, using obscenity, etc. One must make up one's own mind, as to what deviance includes.

That which is different from what one believes it should be. Can there be deviance without an agenda and ignorance regarding variation of the expected?
