      Honestly this is just the process of language evolving. Some slang words are born and fade into obsecurity once the novelty wears off, others get used so much that they become part of the language for ages to come. Some even become formal terms given enough time.

        It’s nice to have slang for a word, but i do hate when people misuse it and then the word devolved. For example, gaslight.
