So.. Jargon? Are we talking about Jargon?
Jargon is basically just a DSL on top of English :)

#22Interesting that "verb" does not appear in the posted article. I immediately thought of Yegge's kingdom of nouns blog post, which is 20 years old last month! I read it a long time ago and it made an impression on me.

I've always thought that it's because the meaning of verbs tends to change a lot depending on the noun they're applied to:
You can get the garbage bag but you can also get a concept
You can carry the garbage out but also carry a burden
You can dump the garbage but also dump someone.
You'd have to define exceptionally accurate verbs and then make sure they have a coherent meaning across all the nouns they are applicable to.
