I think some are made up 😆 The nature of English language is to simplify and take shortcuts.

Definitely it’s funny how some words are in style at a particular time, like when Collusion was everywhere awhile ago, it was used over 30 times in House of Cards
I've noticed that each generation makes up new words or gives new meanings to old words. Like "lit", as in "this party is lit" or that's "fire." And words can take opposite meanings of what they usually mean, e.g. "bad" as Michael Jackson sang it meant "awesome" or "cool." Or something can be 💩 (bad) or be "the 💩" (good). 😄
