I also had no problem understanding what you meant. I also found that the usage in the header of your post attracted my attention "What is this about, interesting perhaps" I thought.
But I do accept that some readers have difficulties understanding or accepting the likes of colloquialisms, idioms, humor and sarcasm in writing. The following are just my own views and how I feel within myself, so just personal not lecturing.
I have no problem with accepting that idioms, colloquialisms, use of foreign words, use of social and cultural language, creation of new words, playing with grammar, etc. are all part of the wealth of the English language and contribute to its health, growth and evolution. Many of these things, with time, become mainstream and if they did not the language would not have evolved past its beginnings.
So I think it is best when writing to forget about those who give the impression that the rules of language and informative communication are set in stone, and deviation from them is an error (some seem to think even a sin and jump in to criticize). If they were correct I feel that we would never have had some of the works of writers such as Dickens (e.g. a creator of words), Twain (e.g. use of idiom), etc.. Change can happen quite quickly and "to boldly go" is now familiar to and acceptable to most of us, as are other split infinitives; in fact jokes are now made of those who still insist such are grammatically incorrect. It is about communication, flow of the prose, interesting plays on grammar and words, and liveliness, not about worrying about sticklers to rules.
One of the interesting takes on linguistics, if one is into podcasts, I follow and enjoy is Slate's
Lexicon Valley (there is also a blog). If not familiar with it, it is American and so mostly American English, and professionally light heartedly produced. It is also very accepting of the changes that have taken place in the English language, current and past idioms, social influences such as rap, etc. and demonstrates those with audio recordings from old films and TV programs (love that spelling, as does the OED but I have been growled at for using it
) or quotes. I think most Australians and NZ'er's (and some others, of course) can readily identify with "Americanisms" and accept them as part of the richness of the English language, but may send some who see the language as being bounded by rules and no peripheral vision outside of those allowed, into a tizzy.
Finally, I like Cinisajoy's comments very much.
Off now for a tinny after those mental gymnastics
