SLANG
What slang means
Informal language and expressions used by particular groups of people that are usually considered too casual or nonstandard for formal speech or writing.
Where the word comes from
Slang likely comes from Scandinavian languages, possibly Old Norse *slengja*, meaning "to sling" or "throw." The sense shifted to speech that is "thrown around" or used loosely among a particular group. It appeared in English by the 17th century, initially describing the specialized vocabulary of thieves and vagrants before broadening to informal, colloquial speech more generally.
