Human languages have the ability to combine, superimpose, and overlap in a way you don’t see with today’s digital tools. Example: you can start with basic English rules and vocabulary, then superimpose Southern dialect, then superimpose some words you only find in Nashville, then superimpose a few words or phrases that have special meaning within your circle of friends, etc. The flexibility is remarkable.

Yes, in an informal sense it's poetry all the way down
