minus-square@BluetreefrogOPMlinkEnglish2•1 year ago generation of neologisms Ngl, I had to look up what neologism meant, but now I know that it = new words, expressions or usages. It fascinates me how fast language is changing. When I was young verse was never used as a verb, as in “today we are versing another team”. Or the word “meme” has completely changed meaning in less than two decades. It’s like watch evolution on fast-forward.
