What is "slang"?
Slang is a type of informal language that consists of words, phrases, or expressions that are often specific to a particular group, subculture, or community. Slang terms can change quickly and may not be understood by people outside of the group. It is commonly used in casual conversation and can convey a sense of identity, belonging, or cultural connection among speakers. Slang often reflects current trends, attitudes, and social issues, making it dynamic and adaptable. While it can add flavor and personality to language, slang is typically not used in formal writing or speech.
Example
In the 1920s, ' the bee 's knees ' was popular slang for something outstanding or extraordinary.
Skaters have their own slang, with terms like ' gnarly ' to describe something impressive or ' shredding ' to refer to skilled skateboarding.
Teenagers often use slang like ' lit ' to describe something that is exciting or excellent, which may not be easily understood by older generations.
