Etymology

The word 'slang' traces its origins back to the mid-18th century British English, initially referring to the specialized vocabulary of lower-class people or specific groups. The term likely stems from the Scandinavian root 'slengja', meaning 'to throw or toss', indicating how informal language can be thrown around in casual conversation. Over the years, slang has evolved to encompass a wide range of expressions and phrases that often defy the rules of formal language. The suffix '-ier' is a comparative form used in English to denote a higher degree of a characteristic, thus 'slangier' suggests a more pronounced use of informal language. Slang continues to adapt with cultural changes, influenced by music, social media, and youth culture, creating a dynamic and ever-changing linguistic landscape.
