slang

/slaNG/

noun

1.      a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people.

It also sometimes refers to the language generally exclusive to the members of particular in-groups in order to establish group identity, exclude outsiders, or both.

Linguists have no simple and clear definition of slang, but agree that it is a constantly changing linguistic phenomenon present in every subculture worldwide.

exrepession should be considered "true slang" if it meets at least two of the following criteria:[8]

·        It lowers, if temporarily, "the dignity of formal or serious speech or writing"; in other words, it is likely to be considered in those contexts a "glaring misuse of register".

·        Its use implies that the user is familiar with whatever is referred to, or with a group of people who are familiar with it and use the term.

·        "It's a taboo term in ordinary discourse with people of a higher social status or greater responsibility."

·        It replaces "a well-known conventional synonym." This is done primarily to avoid discomfort caused by the conventional synonym or discomfort or annoyance caused by having to elaborate further.
