The first usage of the word “slang” was introduced by a newspaper in 1724 called the London journal in an essay on poetry and philosophy where they used the word “Trade and Slango”, Slango meaning scheming or dishonest activity, there were people in the 1730s performing and taking the role of a “slango”, later shortened to just “slang”In the 1740s slang was recognized as the language of lower class people, beggars, and criminals known for having very distinctive and specific meaning, usually relating to standard english.In the 1750s it was known that criminals would use this kind of language to avoid being understood by outsiders to disguise their
intentions. They even had some special symbols they would write on walls to warn other crime doers like “looted” or “guarded inside”.In the 1800's and how to put it, goofy ahh terminology started popping up. Some words are targeted towards very specific situations and people, such as “sauce box” which is just another way of saying mouth, kinda like how people used to say pie hole. Also another one I wanted to mention is “some pumpkins” .This Foreal is just funny as frick, like imagine saying to your British or victorious home slice “damn my brother they are some pumpkins nah boi”.An slang word belonging to the 1850s era is the term “gigglemug” which is a word meaning someone who smiles a lot or laughs in a rambunctious sort of way.Some more commonly used slang words that we use today are words like “bread” and “crib” which were actually popping up from the early days 1900s to the 1960s.From the 1970s to latest 1900s words like “rad”, “cool”, and “bounce” were implemented into modern speech. The word “Cool” actually an interesting slang word because it transitioned into more mainstream English, like you prolly use the word cool everyday.The word “gnarly” started popping up in the 1980s, originating from how surfers who described big and crazy waves as “gnarly” later snuck it’s way into regular teenage speech, it no longer exclusively used to talk about waves, but a more general way to call things “crazy” or “wild”.the 1990s. Chillax in probably the most straightforward word on the list obviously being a combination of the words “chill” and “relax”. One really interesting term that is still around right now is “my bad” . While this isn’t really its own slang ‘word’, it is used by the general youth population frequently, basically meaning “sorry”. It was actually first said by a pro Sudan basketball player named Manute Bol, who according to teammates, sometimes misspoke English phrases, one of which was “my bad”.All throughout the 2000s abbreviation was the main source of slang words, “peeps”, “noob”, “lol”, and “tat” are some examples of abbreviations used though texting, with phones being much more popular, people would message using faces constructed by letters like “XD”, “:)”, and “:3”, While they aren’t ever really spoken in conversation, a lot of people still use some of these character faces. Another popular thing people did with texting was replacing the sound in a letter with a number that sounded similerI'm sure we all remember and cringe at some of the words coming out of the 2010s. First off “yeet” which was popularized mostly by memes and specifically vines, meaning to throw something or just as an exclamation. “Lit” or “litty” is a word that has actually been around since the late 1800s describing someone who is intoxicated or drunk.
