A1: Slang says that language is always evolving and new words gain traction because people like them/use them more, and they catch on. Does everyone like slang? Doubtful, but it's popular! #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A1: To us, slang shows that language is constantly evolving, it's almost exhausting trying to keep up with it! #CultureTrav

A1: Slang shows how fluid language can be, and that we are always finding new ways to communicate with eachother. #culturetrav

A1 Hey #CultureTrav I'm flying from #Tampa to #Miami coming back from a cruise to #Havana #Cuba. I love playing w/words. With that said, slang is super powerful. It gives a different flavor to any phrase. Just look at how you intro this chat: LIT & DOPE. I'm hoping it is WICKED!

A3: As a "Yank" at a West Cork Lit Fest, I was "banjaxed" by #slang I didn't get. I returned to #Ireland & interviewed "The Lads Who Wrote the Books on Irish Slang. It's Irish tradition to "slag," or tease in good fun. #CultureTrav #CultureTrip #language https://t.co/lW9OVj3I3b

@Nicolette_O A1 slang describes current everday life, and expresses how language is fluid, constantly changing.

A1: I think it defines generations and is a reflection of the world at the time. The slang I used as a teen is vastly different than my teenage daughters generation for sure! #CultureTrav

You know you've achieved fluency in a language once you know its slang and idioms. #culturetrav

@travelcricket8 A2 Slang reflects a country's culture through unifying people with a secret language, eh.
