imprecise speech is one of the major causes of mental illness in human beings.
the inability to correctly perceive reality is often responsible for humans' insane behavior. and every time they substitute an all-purpose, sloppy slang word for the words that would accurately describe an emotion or a situation, it lowers their reality orientations, pushes them farther from shore, out onto the foggy waters of alienation and confusion.
when a person says a movie is 'neat,' does he mean that it's funny or tragic or thrilling or romantic, does he mean that the cinematography is beautiful, the acting heartfelt, the script intelligent, the direction deft, or the leading lady has cleavage to die for?
slang possesses an economy, an immediacy that's attractive, all right, but it devalues experience by standardizing and fuzzing it. it hangs between humanity and the real world like a veil.
slang just makes people more stupid, that's all, and stupidity eventually makes them crazy.
