1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

detecting an increase in use of a linguistic term at a messaging source;

determining that a plurality of linguistic terms related to the linguistic term are disproportionally related to the increase in use of the linguistic term at the messaging source;

determining a history of interaction using the linguistic term from a sending user to a receiving user at another messaging source;

identifying a possible evolution of the linguistic term based on user reactions to the linguistic term at the messaging source, wherein the identifying the possible evolution considers the history of interaction;

classifying one or more messages as including an evolved use of the linguistic term; and

sending a message for confirmation of the evolved use by a moderator.
