Slang of the week

Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's language or dialect but are considered acceptable in certain social settings. Slang expressions may act as euphemisms and may be used as a means of identifying with one's peers.

We would like to share some of them with you...
Let's get started...






MUSH

Example: "That is total mush and you know it"






This week we would like to share an interview between the british Hugh Laurie and the american Ellen Degeneres about slang...







MELLOW

Example:


  • You need to mellow out and enjoy life






JACK
Meaning: to steal
Examples:

  • Someone busted into my place today and jacked my damn computer!
Variety: This slang is typically used in American English but may be used in other varieties of English too.
