RE: The Language of Teenage Slang
Heh, this was cleverly done. I think most communities develop their own slang and phrases. I remember as a waiter learning all kinds of fun phrases (86 something, in the weeds) and as an EMT now another world (frequent flyer, ETOH). And let’s not even BEGIN to talk about the Army 😉 I guess teenagers are no different. They just go whole hog and turn an entire sentence into slang!
I remember a lot of slang from my army days, too. I reckon you're probably right, in as much as most professions/jobs have their own slang. It's just kind of something we, as humans, tend to do. I guess we're somewhat of a lazy bunch!!
