Slang... something we use in our everyday lives to express ourselves more comfortably. Not only is it used out of laziness, but as sounding more relaxed when speaking. Besides, we all know that many foreign words composed the English language as well. For instance, the word ¨gesundheit¨ that comes form German and means: A way to wish somebody good health after they`ve sneezed. There`s a whole bunch of more words without a doubt. Even combinations of already existing slang words coined by artists among others. A good example would be the term ¨fugly¨, which is a mix between the swear words fucking and ugly. Anyhow, I don`t mean to sound vulgar. Just being illustrative and not derivative in my explanations. Not wanting this piece of writing waterlogged with malarkey, I`ll go on without being verbose. Last but not least, there is an expression that derives from Latin. This one is called ¨quid pro quo¨ and means equal exchange. I taught her Math, she helped me out with my History homework. Quid prod quo. Even a halfwit would understand that last one explanation. To sum up, I`d say it is amazing how this language has evolved in such an interesting manner. These changes herald a lot more new slang incorporated into English.
