that's not how it works
imagine the word 'groovy' has been dead for 20-30 yrs
suddenly in 2010 you start using groovy religiously, get your friends to use it, and leverage an audience of about 3 million people across 15-20 twitter accounts, including some of the most influential people on there
and by 2013-2014 everyone is using groovy
except we're talking about Godbody, a much less common word with only 1 meaning, not groovy. I personally prescribed Godbody an entirely new meaning so that it can be used in everyday slang
20 years ago using Godbody: "Yo this nigga Rakim mastered 120. He's Godbody" (Five Percenter talk)
How I started to use it, which is how its used now: "Yo that nigga LeBron shot the ball across court and it was all net. That niggas godbody!"
You neither popularized the word Insuppressible nor gave it another meaning which people adhere to today.
'twas a good try. But the reason it's believable that someone stole my slang is because I actually had the audience to make it happen. I SET trending topics on Twitter, I CONVERSED with several celebs. Celebs stalked my pages, read my bios, tweets, etc where 'GODBODY' was plastered...And of course many of these celebs are much more connected/influential than me so if they take my slang and run with it nobodys gonna know where it came from
