lang
/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.
