words and thoughts

[kevblah]

Have you ever thought about what words already exist out there and which ones have not been either thought of, written down or discussed? I mean there are so many different feelings you can feel for one thing, if you are just sitting there and letting yourself not put anything into words.  

So I wonder do you think there are words for everything in reality if you break it down enough? Almost enough words? Not nearly enough? what do you think about this? I think that there can not be enough words, because every time you get a new word and a new way of saying something, you leave out some part of reality, real life cannot be talked about in words alone.

I know that some people change words whether it's for the better or worse. Like "Queer" used to just mean strange, odd, weird, ect... , and they changed "Fat" into "Phat" but that's for the better cause it's really an acronym P.H.A.T. which means "Pretty hot and tempting", so if you tell a girl she "Phat" it's a compliment, although I wouldn't say that unless she knew how I meant it.

I hear that in Japan they have unofficial "slang" words that people make up because they don't feel like there are enough words, and I guess that holds true in all languages as well.

Some words are so recent but we use them all of the time so we forget how they are invented. Of course all words were invented at some point, it all came from no words really, to more and more words. I can not see any where for us to go with words except that we will have more and more of them, as we think of more and more new ideas.

this is like a nissan advert that was released in the uk they took two words and merged them together, i agree that there couldn't be enough words to explain all of our feelings on every item of life.
