Toforan Slangwhanger. We have our complete name. He’ll be a sorcerer, though I dunno what race yet. Probably half something.

I’ve recently seen the word “based” used in a new and odd way. I’ve asked a few people to explain it and they just made it worse.

hmm, so is there a difference between slang and jargon. I usually just think of jargon as technical slang

I mean if it was shorter we’d not be seeing “glizzy” for “hotdog” 😂

I’d love to hear your take on Scots language. Many Scottish people speak it but don’t realise it’s a language, they think it’s just English slang.

IMO Bringing back the word slangwhanger is just asking for trouble 😂

In British English (at least) "slanging match" means a bad-tempered argument, which seems closely related to that definition for "slangwhanger."

I nominate “Slangwhanger” as the unofficial way to refer to the 45th US president.

Speaking of slangwanger, is slang related to slander?

I like to use the word vernacular which is just a fancy word for business slang
