现代美国俚语_现代最新词汇 3.0.1

The emergence and development of modern American slang is driven by the demands of society and the times. Today, the main trend in modern American slang is to become concise and permeate with standard language.

Slang is a non-standard language, consisting of coarse or narrowly used dialect words, used to express new things or give new names to old things. It is a colloquial, easy-to-understand, and locally flavored language that people have summarized in their daily lives. It is characterized by strong regionalism, limited popularity, and a more informal nature.

The origin of slang cannot be determined, but it first appeared in printed materials around 1800, documenting the jargon of London criminals. Slang often arises from conflicts in values, expressing hostility or contempt, or from mocking members within a particular group. However, the popularity of slang is driven by social forces rather than individual actions.

Today, slang is no longer limited to subcultures. The mainstream of contemporary slang is created by the upper class who dominate American society. Slang that was once considered "beneath refinement" appears frequently in well-known newspapers, literature, biographies of famous individuals, and even formal speeches by American presidents. Therefore, it can be said that American slang has become integrated into the "blood" of mainstream culture.
