I find it ridiculous that people think copium is a real word but in actuality it’s not even a real word it’s like saying funner is a real word when it’s not. People just love to make up words to use for their own personal gains when it fits their own agenda.

Copium is in fact a word.
However, the way people use it around here and on social media is wrong.

Ain’t is in the Oxford dictionary so it’s officially a word.

Welcome to language? There’s no such thing as a, ‘real word.’ They’re all made up and given definitions and meaning by us.

All words are made up.

Ain’t is a real word. Also what qualifies a word, really? Just a largely agreed upon group of people that accept it as one. I don’t think a dictionary should be the Arbiter of Words. If people understand what you are saying, and what it means, it’s likely to become a word. And some words we no longer use today can still be considered “words”, but if you said them in common settings people would be clueless as to what it means.

Yeah when a significant portion of speakers of the language use a word for more than two hundred years, yes it becomes a “real” word. You won’t find a southerner who doesn’t say ain’t.
