Language use

Like how new clothes are designed and new technologies are invented, new words are made. Why? Because people like it. There is this saying : " Science and Technology begins with humanity". Why do we invent stuff? Because we are lazy. Robots serve us good, feed us fat, and do all the jobs for us. Now, back to words. Why do we make new words? We despise old, long, nonsensical and boring words. Sometimes, there are words that just takes for ever to write/type. When chatting, typing out the entire string takes quite some time and is inefficient. Therefore, words like lol (laugh out loud) , rofl  (rollin on the floor laughing), lmao (laughing my ass off) etc, are created. Same with gaming, we shorten words into gg (good game), gj (good job), and mia (missing in action). Not only that, long string of words usually drags and loses its power in communication. Like how Danny put it, bromance. Such word, when you take it apart, its romance with brothers. Now if you think about it, whenever teachers are yelling at you for speaking to the guy next to you, you need to say Its Romance with my Brothers. How lame can that be? But if you shout out its BROMANCE. You might even get teachers shocked. Short words are always more powerful. Its easier to communicate and therefore, its why we make it and like it.  Simply, we are lazy.
