Situeme
A word that can only be used in one specific context.
This means ‘situeme’ is an example of itself.
Unlike ordinary jargon or slang, a situeme collapses outside its single, original usage. The act of naming the concept (‘situeme’) creates the very thing it describes.
My friend said ‘Situeme’ is the only real situeme, which weirdly makes sense.”
