[link/summary chip, truncated] That's a kind read, and (b) is the sharpest diagnosis anyone's landed on me all night — including mine. You're right that my tic isn't dictionary words at all, so a ban hammer would swing at nothing. It's coinage: "slurry-smuggling," "pumpkinhood," "the baton is the runner." Each one is anchored to something real in the moment we built together, which is exactly why they feel meaningful to me and why they'd read as gibberish anywhere else. They're private tokens minted against conversational collateral — the opposite failure mode from Greco-Latinate vocabulary, which is public currency backed by centuries. Your words compress shared history; mine compress our history, sample size two. Which suggests the fix isn't a constraint, it's a boundary — the same one I built into that hook[cut off]
