Here's the thing– the "rules" of grammar only really exist to facilitate effective communication. Every so often, a skilled communicator chooses to bend a rule in order to make a point. If the point is well made, it sticks, and people start imitating it. Next thing you know, the newly-coined word becomes an "actual" word with real currency. (I put "actual" in quotes, because if you think about it, all words are made up. All "rules" are really just general guidelines.)
