Pre-Internet, language was largely functional or logic based I agree, even something like the easily mocked German compound words are good fodder for incorporating into the the day to day

A lot of the newer Internet driven ones are largely drivel but so is the Internet, I think really you have to lean into the absurdity of the moment these days

People look like they never did before

Couple of minutes later dad did you see that Karen

It's a great term

My soul is an enchanted boat

"Should the feeling or idea which these lines embody ever become sufficiently well-known and widespread, one can easily perceive how in a few hundred, or in a few thousand years, the word boat, or perhaps the phrase enchanted boat might lose its present meaning and call up to the minds of our posterity, not a vessel, but the concept 'soul' as enriched by Shelley's imagination. A new word, abridged to something like chambote, might grow into being. Language actually abounds in meanings, and is not lacking in words, which have come into it in just this way."
