What's your definition of a foreign language? (I don't need any
authoritative references).

That's quite a statement, Jose. Who appointed you "Keeper of All
Foreign Language "Knowledge"?

1: It was a question, not a statement. Learn the difference.

2: English (unlike French or Spanish) is not derived from authoritive
references, which is why I don't need one. I'm just looking for the
meaning of the word as used by the speaker. That's what communication
is about.

Face it -- your argument, while obviously heartfelt, is untenable.

Translation: Jay disagrees.
