    People can almost use words any way they want

    Definitions come from the way people use words, not the other way around. This has been the case for a long time, that’s how Shakespeare got away with inventing so many words. He just used em and people were like “yeah that’s alright, those collections of sounds can definitely describe this feeling/thing/whatever”
