Communication is a funny thing. And it gets even funnier when you lack knowledge. As my lecturer always says, "Meanings are in people, not words." Words are just the medium in which the symbol travels. What makes the meanings, apart from the words, is:

• The situation
• The people
• The culture
  
• The knowledge
• The tone
• The actions

And probably a few more. But what I'll be focusing on now is the 'knowledge'. When you know, you understand.

Take this for example: the term 'BUGGER'

You might think 'BUGGER' is derived from the word 'BUG' which means 'annoy. However, there's a deeper meaning to it. Some people use 'BUGGER' as an informal way to say 'friend'. Example: He's a cute little bugger. However, there's a deeper meaning to the word 'BUGGER' and I would not want to say it here. You can look up the dictionary for it.

So, when you go around saying that word, think twice. Does the person know what you're talking about?
