how exactly do you think jargon happens "bro"?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Because it's easier to refer to something with a single word or abbreviation than to have to explain the entire concept?

It's more slang than jargon either way.

Slang is informal language, jargon is a specialized term. This post is asking for jargon. Slang is designed to keep people out of a social in-group, jargon is designed to keep people out of an intellectual in-group.
