You ever had a group of close friends, where over time you develop in-jokes and anecdotes together until one of you can say "umbrella!" and you all break out laughing while everyone else thinks you're crazy?

Humans form bonds and shorthands together. Keep a group of humans in relative isolation for a long time and they'll personalize their own method of communicating with each other.
