Slang is the use of words that are not considered standard English. It should never be used in academic or professional writing. Often, these words are developed from fads or simple laziness. Sometimes slang is used by a given group and those outside the group do not understand it. Slang can also be insulting to some people or groups. Some slang is associated with certain time periods. In the 1960s, young people used terms like groovy, cool, dude, far-out, and trippin'! Some of those terms are still used.
