Slang
Slang consists of a
lexicon of non-standard words and phrases in a given
language. Use of these words and phrases is typically associated with the subversion of a standard variety (such as
Standard English) and is likely to be interpreted by listeners as implying particular attitudes on the part of the speaker. In some contexts a speaker's selection of slang words or phrases may convey prestige, indicating group membership or distinguishing group members from those who are not a part of the group.
