With a Sword

“There are just some words in the English language that are so watered down or varied in meaning that they aren't worth using, like 'love' or 'God'”. I remarked to S.
“It's not just English” he argued... “all languages are like that.”
“But they have different ambiguities” I said. “English needs more words for all we call love”.
“You don't need words for some things” I said.“But people mean so many things when they say love. How do I know that if someone isn't saying anything, they feel the same emotion I do?”
And to this S replied “There are some things one can only rightly express with a sword”.
