definition of a trapezoid

How do you define a trapezoid?
Is it a four sided figure with exactly one set of parallel sides?
OR
Is it a four sided figure with at least one set of parallel sides?
If you agree with the second definition, then that means that a square, rectangle, and parallelogram are all trapezoids...
HMMM...food for thought
