Word, Dialect, Taboo, Jargon, Linguistics, Subculture, Colloquialism, Paralanguage, Connoisseur High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker`s dialect or language. Slang is often to be found in areas of the lexicon that refer to things considered taboo (see euphemism). It is also used to identify with one`s peers. Few linguists have endeavored to clearly define what constitutes slang. Attempting to remedy this, Bethany K. Dumas and Jonathan Lighter argue that an expression should be considered `true slang` if it meets at least two of the following criteria: It lowers, if temporarily, `the dignity of formal or serious speech or writing` in other words, it is likely to be seen in such contexts as 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 is 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 the discomfort caused by the conventional item or by further elaboration.` Slang: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!
