What do you think about the definition of slang?
*Street + language: Actually, slang is formed from a combination
between street factor and language.
Slang words are very informal words.
The use of slang has been around for many years. It’s often associated
with younger people.
The usage of English words in an informal way so you’ve got to be
careful about the fact of, you don’t use slang with your boss, your elders
or your teacher. But you might use it with your friends, your co-worker
or anyone that you are particular close to.
They may be new or existing words used in a new sense and context.
A, General slang:
Arihead : is very an interesting slang
Okay, imagine a head full of air. And what does that mean I’m referring
to a really stupid, really stupid and dump person. So plz don’t ever tell a
person on his face or on her face that she or he is an airhead because u
actually telling a person that he’s a fool
Now I want to you that in a sentence: my sister’s dating a boy who was
an airhead. All he has a lot of muscles but absolutely no brains.
Therefore I want to say that my sister is dating an airhead.
Bird or Chick
Although it was remembering that some slang term from years ago and
no longer use today.
EX: in the past, we may have described a woman as a bird or a chick.
Nowadays, there are two terms are considered, or very offensive. So if
you use it today, you may get a slap in face
Buck
Let’s take a look at a simple of slang.
There are many slang that can mean Money.
The English Pound could be describe as Quid or Nicker
The American dollar can be called Buck or Green-back.
B, Special slang:
- Is understandable to the members of these groups only
Example:
1. To “ace a test” is to get a very good grade.
“How’d you do on the chemistry test?”
“I aced it!”
2. If you “cut class,” it means you don’t go to class.
“I’m gonna cut math class so that I can finish this project for biology.”
“OK. I’ll tell the professor you’re sick.”
3. If you “drop a class,” it means you stop taking that class.
“I’m really stressed out this semester. I’m thinking of dropping a
class.”
4. To “hit the books” is to study.
“I gotta go hit the books. I have a final exam tomorrow.”
5. In high school and college, there are names for students in each
year:
Freshman = first-year student
Sophomore = second-year student
Junior = third-year student
Senior = fourth-year student
Slang in general may be cases of phonetic distortion
- Cuppa:
They are related to the word 'of'.
How do you know the phrase 'a cup of tea' in how natural speech is
spoken?
People will turn 'a' and 'of' into / ə /
Thus, 'a cup of tea' will be pronounced: / ə kʌpə ti: /
And the word cuppa / kʌpə / is derived from this reading.
E.g:
“I’ve tried listening to Evanescence but I need to say that their music
is not my cup of tea”
I’ve tried listening to Evan but I don’t like it/ It isn’t suitable with
me.
- Ma’am
“Madam” is more formal and ‘correct’, and is used to address a
woman of high social status.
“Ma’am” is a softer and less formal way of addressing any woman.
It’s dignified, polite, and conveys respect or deference.
 Colloquial and literary
Know-how is a word in a song very popular with young people in
1991 and it is still used as slang until now.
Chap is the word to describe a man, which is the slang used in the
movie
