klims and hafgaps

“Nothing is real except atoms and empty space. Everything else is opinion.” That's the conclusion Democritus came to after some serious studying... or at least glancing at his hand and wiggling his fingers a little. But really, what more do I have to do besides glance at my hand to realize it is only an opinion? Even if it didn't look like a hand, people could still call it a hand because of where it is positioned. It's not called a “hand” anyway. It's called “el mano”. And that piece of corn over there, not corn. It's “maize”. It all depends who you are. People who are colour blind can't see whether I'm wearing an orange shirt or a purple one (neither by the way), so they have to rely on someone who isn't colour blind to form opinions for them. But someone who can see colour might call the orange shirt a “venison koala”. Are they wrong? Of course they're wrong, you say. Who are you to tell them they are wrong? Imagine that you've been calling it a “shirt” your entire life. Why did you call it that? Because that's what you were told it was. Now, all of the sudden, a nicely dressed man with a funny hair do (means he's smart) tells you that it's actually called a “klim”. You laugh and swill your drink while thinking about calling in a paddy wagon. But then your mother says, “Yes, child, the man is right. We all agreed to tell you that a 'klim' is called a 'shirt', just to see how things would turn out.” You're still a little unsure of this, and maybe even a little scared, when your father nods his agreement, and your brother stumbles into the conversation while asking if anybody has told you the big secret yet. This may sound a bit unbelievable, but imagine if it happened to you. Do you really think it's impossible? What about when you go to Australia and they call the trunk of your car a “boot”? Are they wrong? Of course they are. It's called a trunk. Unless you're an Australian you sound like a tard calling a trunk a boot. But you're still not wrong.
Why can an Australian call what is obviously a trunk, a boot, but I can't call what is obviously a shirt, a klim? It's all about social acceptance. What is socially accepted is what goes. That doesn't mean your wrong when you ask the cashier for a deal on the klim under the warfig because your licknep is too hafgap. It means you sound like an idiot because you're using socially unacceptable language.
