A1: Evolution of slang shows what is popularly received by people - if it wasn't liked, it wouldn't gain so much traction. #CultureTRav

A1: Words change and evolve as society and cultures intertwine. So, it's good thing. #CultureTrav

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: It shows that despite all the rules we've imposed on language (which, as someone with an English degree I am very observant of), there really are no rules when it comes to how people speak. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A1: I love slang terminology. I think it reflects social and political trends. People rag on youngsters and their abbreviations / slang, but language is constantly evolving, so I see no issue with it. I choose full words and punctuation though ;-) #CultureTrav

replying to @lizl_genealogy @lizl_genealogy basically, how do you feel about slang and it gaining traction as language evolves? #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O Haha, I'm not hugely 'down with kids' regarding slang, but I'll do my best! #CultureTrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 It's always amusing when you watch current movies or TV shows that are set in the past...but use slang that has only existed in recent years. #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!

A1 That people are always looking for a way to express themselves uniquely. Then everyone jumps on board and it's not unique anymore. #culturetrav https://t.co/i0b4kEhXD4

replying to @micheleherrmann @micheleherrmann We always like to take note of how many French words and phrases are used as common idioms in English. Makes the world a little smaller! #CultureTrav

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
