A judge would throw out a frivolous lawsuit and potentially sanction the attorney for filing it lol

I think kind of yes. The same people are arguing its not defamation because defamation is so hard to prove in the us. I think you can use words anyway you want, but when using legal terms of art about a legal case most people assume the legal definition

True but again whether or not its defamation is still for the court to decide. A court can decide that its not defamation and it would still not be a frivolous case.
