And that is one reason why he is so terrible at communication. Nobody understands what he really means in that particular case, unless you were able to derive his specific meaning of "thug" from his previous writings. Inventing your own private sociolect and using it in published texts is a bad idea.

I found the playful use of 'used' along with other vocabulary changes to be reasonable and engaging. This playfulness with language may create problems for readers whose first language is not English.
