The placing of the OP (within the Theravadan forum) explains how the term is inappropriately applied to the Theravadan school. Applied correctly (to two defunct sects, whose tenets are preserved within the Mahayana corpus) for the purpose of study it is perfectly acceptable.

This is the correct context of the term "Hinayana" and is the only legitimate use of it.

And who in mahayana or the tibetan religions actually uses this term in this "legitimate" context?
