What is college slang?
Slang is used as a noun and a verb, and it shows the experiences, beliefs, and values of its speakers like common language, but it is a kind of informal language because slang has many strange words that are not so easy to understand for people who do not know them. Therefore slang is used among friends in informal situations.
college slang is not complete language yet because it does not have terms which are used when students discuss. It has many terms to say something which is good or bad and to evaluate persons positively or negatively. It shows and has many symbols for: food or eating, money, effective, and relationships.
