Yeah absolutely. I’m not disagreeing with you at all. I am acknowledging the challenge of a fuzzy boundary. If a particular word takes you out of the world, it’s a problem. But “magic” usually manages to not do that despite its etymology. But sometimes it’s more immersive to invent a neologism

Dems were outperforming polls in every special election leading up to November 2024.

I imagine they are talking about November 2024… which was (unbelievably) only 10 months ago.

Here I thought it was brave to stay and fight. What do I know.
