Etymology
The word 'slam' has origins in Middle English, stemming from the word 'slem', which means to shut or bang. It is believed to be onomatopoeic, imitating the sound of something being forcefully closed or struck. The modern usage of 'slam' as a verb began in the late 19th century, evolving to include not just the physical action of slamming objects but also the expression of emotions like anger. Its usage has expanded in colloquial language to convey strong criticism or rejection, particularly in contemporary media and reviews. The evolution of the term reflects both the physicality of the action and the emotional weight it carries.
