Actually there is no contraction for "they were". There only refers to place. You can say "they're" for they are (present tense) but there is no single word or contraction for "they were"

Language involves both the spoken and the written word. In my opinion it also involves the visual as sign language is more commonly used today and body language adds a lot but the latter doesn't have a lot to do with grammar. Also I'm completely aware you're being humorous, just in case you were worried that I was oblivious.
I don't know, female dude... There are a lot of idiots online today. Never underestimate the stupidity of a human.
Anyways, I agree that visual language is important. Theoretically, if one wished to devote enough time, you could translate it into words but the issue is that body language isn't taught per se. While some of it can be learned, it is never truly taught to children so there are no set rules in place. The language of the body would have more dialects than true languages today.
What would you even name such a language?

Oh I completely agree. The unspoken language is very complex and yet widely understood. Sometimes it almost feels instinctual. But I think it will almost always be a supplement to spoken language. Obviously we can infer a LOT from body language but I just think it works best in conjunction with spoken. Though it's also very easy to give mixed signals by mismatching what you do and what you say. Again, very complex. But very interesting!

Also it's pretty funny to me that we're having this intellectual conversation on an adorable kitten gif
Mismatching occurs by hiding what you are truly feeling. It is my belief that body language is always more accurate than what a person says - even though it can be difficult to properly read.
Blink and you're cuddled.
Their fast. Faster than you could believe.
Don't turn your head, don't look away, and don't. Blink.
Good luck.
