What do you think of slang ?

Depends what it is.. some slang people use it so often that we forget it's slang.

I recently heard a kid say, "fixie, sick." That means he likes your bike.

One time me and some friends were standing outside this pool hall that was beside this salon. We were in view of the huge front window of the salon and some woman came out and asked us to move because we looked too ghetto. Us being all suburban and shit, took that as a compliment. What that has to do with this poll, fuck if I know.

What cracks me up are all of the crazy acronyms going on today. The most recent, and ridiculous one I've heard of was, "smh". ...what in the hell is that? So I asked, someone said it meant, "Shaking my head". Wtf?

I can't be bothered trying to work out what people are talking about with their slang, it's hard enough as I'm partially deaf - so I don't like slang or people who slur. So I prefer people to open their mouths and speak clearly.

Its ok I guess, as long as its spoken, not written

some is ok but i hate it when people use it in every sentence its like get a grip you mo'fo

i don mind some.

It's fucking stupid. English should be normal and proper, without any bullshit.

your car's on fire. auto aflame

I love slang; not every word, but it makes life and language much more interesting.

It depends... For example the slang around the capital of my country is so ridiculous. They think it's cool, but I would be very embarrassed to walk around with someone speaking like that.

But the usual slang words used around the country are just fine.

Two's up - Save me half that cigarette. Id smash your back doors in - your hot. Blud brap brap that bumbaclart - Bro shoot that motherf*cker.

I used slang when I was in the 7th grade in a very strict parochial school. I raised my hand and after holding it raised for so long, I yelled out, "Yo, Miss. -----, over here! I know the answer!". My teacher thought it was very disrespectful, and she called me out in class, and said, "I'm not one of those people from off of the streets you can talk to like that!". But I really didn't mean to come off so rudely. I was just trying to playfully get her attention. I guess I shouldn't have thrown in that yo.

Slang is quiet interesting. I believe it reflects different cultures. But I agree with a comment stated above, sometimes slang becomes incorporated into the parent language to the point that we are adding so many new words to the dictionary. Whether that is a positive or a negative, I'm not really sure.

I like the local slang that's always been used here so that we can talk without outsiders knowing what we mean. It can also be more succinct.

i.e, Need till from the grey-man and koi-shop before battle, is me telling someone that I'm short of money, and that I'm heading for the bank and then the newsagents before settling down in the pub.

I'm from the UK, so we love slang. You won't find anyone in Yorkshire that say's the word the. You get used knowing what slang each county uses. Me and my friends always argue about what to call a breadroll. Is it a bap, breadcake, roll, balm , breadroll, muffin or cob?
