Neologisms are still words.
EDIT: As wedrifid implies, words are strings of characters with socially established meanings. Just because he doesn't belong to the social group that uses those words to mean those things doesn't mean they stop being words. It'd be like saying {klama} isn't a word merely because only around a thousand people or so have ever used it to mean "go/come."
Sure, ok. "Not words in this particular established language". Arglebargle witzot phlerg.
You mis-spelled "flerg".
Must have missed my edit where I explicitly mentioned social groups. Also, see Wittgenstein's comments on private language.
No. Nor is that conclusion suggested by my reply.
What was your reply supposed to suggest?
