Etymology

The term 'slanging' is derived from the noun 'slang', which is believed to have originated in the 18th century. It likely comes from the English dialectal word 'sling', meaning to throw or cast. Over time, 'slang' evolved to refer to informal, nonstandard language used by particular groups, often to set them apart from the mainstream. The addition of '-ing' creates the participial form 'slanging', indicating the action of using such language. This evolution showcases the adaptability of language and the need for communities to form their own identities through linguistic expressions. The use of slang has expanded with the influence of music, pop culture, and social media, further entrenching the practice of slanging in modern communication.
