What is the importance of Jargon in our lives?

The Importance of Jargon in our Lives

What makes it worthwhile, that it exists. Is it only of primordial essentiality that differentiates between the words that we have, with reference to a narrower context? Perhaps so.

We can’t live without Jargon. Jargon has become so tied all our special lives. We’ve created special zones that need to be jargoned and the jargon and lingo-specific words keep getting invented. There won’t be a end, because mixing and matching will continue till eternity of human language.

It’s an issue of creatively putting together words. How the meaning changes and are made to change, sometimes the formed words/ lingo coming to represent a combination or the sum-total of all words involved or a totally different meaning, altogether.

The Defining Jargon


"Jargon is terminology that relates to a specific activity, profession or group. Much like slang it develops as a kind of shorthand, to quickly express ideas that are frequently discussed between members of a group. In many cases a standard term may be given a more precise or specialized usage among practitioners of a field. In many cases this may cause a barrier to communication as many may not understand."

That how, Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines me. I create my own Jargon, whenever I need to, somewhat like create my own world with them. My own semi-real world, where I define the limits and non-limits.
When I say, semi-real, it means that somewhere into the defined realms it gives away and blurs into the real world. So, I exist in both of them. Defining me, the ways of existance ... so on and so forth.
That all, of my Jargonese, for now ...
