In our world, almost every individual wants to keep up with the changes in modern life and develop, both socially and culturally. Today, the best way to feel "in trend" is to master cultural communication. The appearance of various slangs and jargons in speech enables a person to plunge into the modern world and enter a new stage of their life. slang modern world
Most often, slang finds its place in oral communication around the world, and therefore the development of a new society affects the language. The characteristic culture of the city and its way of life arose with the help of a population that was influenced by the new capitalist way of thinking. A large population and the diversity of its groups have always influenced the creation of a new quality of interaction and a new consciousness. Urbanism, as a way of life, was perceived as a curse or a blessing. In any case, the new urban culture included a new vocabulary. Slang became part of this vocabulary, which expressed new social categories, new forms of social inequality, new relationships, a new way of life and other breaks in traditions [1].
Slang is a vocabulary that is undergoing constant changes and is being developed, the change, consisting of bright and colorful words and phrases that characterize different social and professional groups, especially when these terms are used in society in general to achieve an atmosphere of an informal and friendly situation. The more one knows someone, the more one can rely on abbreviations and slang [2].
L. O. Stavytska understood the concept of slang as a type of colloquial language, which is evaluated by society as unofficial ("domestic", "familiar", "trusting") [3].
It is rather difficult and problematic to trace the first mentions of slang words in English lexicography and it is difficult to say in what century slang got its origin and started developind actively.
It is worth paying attention to Henry Mencken's work "American Language" [3]. It became a significant contribution to the study of American slang. He claimed that the "life span" of some slang units is determined by centuries, while others die "ingloriously" as soon as they are born.
The very term "slang" was used by British criminals to denote their native language. The version that slang comes from the word "slanguage" is based on the fact that the first letter "s" was added to "language" as a result of the disappearance of the word thieves in the phrase "thieves'language", which means "the language of thieves" [4].
For more than two hundred years, criminal slang was the main source of everyday slang words. Alcohol, drugs, and crime have been firmly fixed in the public consciousness since prohibition in the United States. What is a matter of social taboo has become the source of many slang expressions.
Most slang words related to race, gender, ethnicity, etc. are quite crude, often hateful and are viewed by people as "offensive". Such words are rude! They will not be classified as slang or colloquial. Slang is slang, and anyone looking for a way to "enrich" their vocabulary should turn to the dictionary of slang vocabulary [5].
The use of slang, most often, implies a deviation from the standard language. It can be traced in all spheres of social life, often involving the creation of new linguistic forms or the creative adaptation of old ones. Slang sometimes seems to form a kind of sociology aimed at excluding certain people from the conversation.
Summarize all of the above, we can conclude that slang originates from the language of thieves, but over time has become an integral part of today. We were and are its active creators, and therefore its prosperity or destruction in general depends on us.
