You hear a new slang word: you never ask for a definition of it;
and you never get one.
You do not get even any simple example of its use;
you only hear it in ironical, twisted, humorous, sentences whose meaning is turned
inside out and tied in a hard knot;
yet you know what that word means much
better than any abstract definition could have informed you.
In riding a horse; rider and ridden understand one another [in] a way of which the
former can no more give an account than the latter.
