Slang words are words that almost everyone has been exposed to and used at some point. If we need to make a brief definition, the meaning of the word slang is the special language that the members of a community (professional group/social class) use by attributing a different meaning to the words among themselves than their normal meanings.
Slang itself does not have any grammatical rules. It is an oral language. It is a derived language from the mother tongue. Slang does not stay as it is, it can change and develop over time. The foundations of Turkish slang, which many of us are familiar with, are based on the old Istanbul’s furnace and tulumbacı circles.
Slang words are used by almost every segment of society. However, each community has its own slang words. Although it seems to be used in the sense of profanity in general, there are also slang words that are used in very different meanings. We can list the types of slang as follows: sexual slang, slang slang, gay slang, immigrant slang, bully slang, driver slang, boarding school slang…
