Yet another instance where someone displays ignorance of the meaning of "celibacy".

The original meaning. Nowadays, it means "abstaining from sex".

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Its meaning remains what it has always been - "unmarried".

It is used quite generally - but erroneously - to refer to "chastity", which is abstention from sexual activity.
