My opinion is that once someone invents a word, it exists forever, even if it's later marked as obsolete/archaic.

Conversely, just because the dictionary doesn't have a word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I agree but he is saying the opposite lol

I know lol

Just reminded me of those that consider the dictionary a holy book, and new words against the Rules of Nature™

Yeah, I can say all manner of things like bork and twiddledee, but I don't think I can get marblegargler to stick.

Unless a meme picks it up or is in at least the urban dictionary, it doesn't count.

Fiddlesticks. "marblegargler" is perfectly cromulent. ;)

Many words are forgotten, so I disagree with that they exist forever.
