是不是覺得自己已經能夠說一口流利的英語了呢？是不是覺得“老外”們的話還是聽不太懂呢？是不是覺得他們的話里“俚語”太多了呢？俚語又究竟是個什么東東？Slang is informal language and has a shorter "life-span" than other English words. Nevertheless, you will find all of these words in a good monolingual dictionary and slang is a common part of daily life to most native speakers.
