    You’ll probably need to get more people in on it if you want it to be in a dictionary, but “enough” is really just the people you talk to.

    Lots of families and friend groups have their own words, usually powered by inside jokes. Sometimes those words get picked up and spread around the neighborhood or even the town, and sometimes they manage to enter popular culture, thus slang is born.

    So enough might just be your nephew, or enough might be everyone who’s ever posted a dog picture.
