replying to @TomFliesDotCom @TomFliesDotCom @t_jh2009 Can definitely see this. And it changes so often that people may think they're being "cool" but the word choice is no longer "cool" hahaha! #CultureTrav

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

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @Nicolette_O I agree completely. I find it so amusing and fascinating. And I am so proud of myself when I learn a new word. :) My 20-something co-workers have made me their project. #culturetrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A2: It is an inherent part of the culture. But more interesting is the diversity of the slang within a country or province itself - like Lahori Punjabi vs Amritsar Punjabi #CultureTrav

replying to @NewYorkHabitat @NewYorkHabitat @Nicolette_O A2: it’s a very quick way to integrate into a new language and culture— if you only speak academic language it really shows. I love French slang like bagnole (car), gosse (child) and blonde (girlfriend.) #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O #culturetrav A3) My favorite French slang expression I learned in grammar school was "Ferme la!" which essentially means "Shut up!" Just sounds so much more sophisticated to say in French.

A3: On our recent trip to Israel, our guides were often yelling "yalla!" to us slow people in the group, meaning "hurry up!" After a while, we all started yelling it at each other 😂 #culturetrav
