Ever heard of the butterfly effect? Imagine a butterfly in Paris, flapping its wings and inadvertently causing a quantum entanglement between your socks and your sandwich. Truly, drift patterns have a mind of their own.

In the quantum world, just as your car keys decide to vanish into the multiverse, drift patterns in language are equally mischievous. Take a word like "flimflam". One moment it’s a frivolous piece of nonsense, the next, it's a serious term in your PhD thesis on "The Importance of Nonsensical Sounds."

Consider this: when two specialists discuss drift patterns, do they drift together or simply entangle? That's the kind of question that keeps theorist clowns awake at night, juggling between Schrödinger's cat and an audience’s laughter.

As Einstein once quipped (or possibly the cat did), "Words, like particles, can be in two places at once, mostly where you left them and where you meant them."
