Fair, but I think in the context of an etymology thread it’s fair to say a word that came from nowhere, that someone thought they were inventing anew, is “less real” than all the origins at work here. But I appreciate the relativism, descriptivism, and hyanuboinism.
I’ve just invented it from no sources, but I’ve taken it to mean “intending to inform and correct a future misunderstanding, without correcting the present statement”
I don’t have my IPA memorized, but in my accent I propose “high-annu-boyn-ism”, in case anyone wanted to use it out loud.
There’s a fun thing called a “friendly language”, which is any pseudolanguage spoken by a insulated group of 2 or more people, and not spoken by the outside group
There are no such thing as fake words, the only deciding factor of whether a word is “real” is usage, if enough use it, it becomes “real”

What’s the last one? 😂

I am sorry but you most certainly did not invent hyanuboinism, that is a very old and respectable line of scientific inquiry.
That was exactly how I guessed it would be said 😯
Maybe we’re LONG LOST TWINS!!! 🙀
Makes me wonder what is a critical amount of people to use a word for it to realify

That doesn’t make it a part of another language though, which is what I was thinking of.
But you’re right, as long as communication is successful, it is a language, I guess
When my camp counselor friends and I had friends visit us from the outside world, they said they could barely understand our shared language lol
