When you're going to claim something is evil, it does help to actually define the word
Does it? I think we all know what someone means when they say evil or bad, or morally wrong, even if we might disagree with whether actions are bad or good.

No we dodn't. Slavery, human sacrifice, honor killings, etc. etc. have been "morally good" to many different societies through the ages. If you lived as an Aztec Warrior 600 years ago, it would be morally EVIL for you NOT to sacrifice your war prisoner to the gods by cutting out his heart as he still lived and breathed, because by NOT doing so you would cause untold missery onto your people.
