I firmly believe that many if not most of the major observable linguistic shifts across history have come from small clades of silly friends playing with words for fun

i can't go to hell - i'm all out of vacation days. i watch space rocks and yell at computers for my day job. probably too old for any of this
i think i might be burned out on internet social. it's hard to keep doing it. it's hard to even maintain the amount of attention i'm already giving it
i am the cause of most of my own problems
furthermore, capitalism must be destroyed

Do you think Shakespeare had silly friends who he workshopped silly words with.
