Vocabulary can be a problem, especially in a language such as English. English has so many different levels. Usually what is taught in the ESL or EFL classroom is the standard term or expressions for a common object or activity. Unfortunately, generally in casual conversation, on the radio, on TV, in songs, in the movies and in many magazines and popular books, very rarely is the standard form of many basic words used. For many native-speakers of English, the standard word for an object or activity does not always fully express one’s feelings toward or for that activity or object. Much more frequently, it is the informal or slang synonym of that word which is used. However, unlike the idiomatic synonym of the word, the slang counterpoint must be used with a great deal of caution. Even though slang is normally limited to informal situations, even in these circumstances slang must be used very carefully.
Taking all the above in consideration, slang is still used widely in English. Do you know what the standard term for the following informal words or expressions: a rat, a mug, a creep, a bastard, a bell, a kisser, a four letter word or a big shot or gun? What does it mean to be on the ball? If you were bawling all last night, what were you doing? What does it mean to be straight vs. bi-coastal? Do you understand what someone has done if he has pimped his ride? Also included are the adult version of food expressions.
