Slang refers to words, phrases and uses that are regarded as very informal and often restricted to special context or peculiar to a specified profession class and the like. Slang words are used in specific social groups, like teenagers.
Slang has always been a challenge for the courts in cases that involve vulgar or insulting language. Conventional dictionaries lag the spoken word by design. That has lawyers and judges turning to a more fluid source of definitions: Urban Dictionary, a crowdsourced collection of slang words on the Internet.ometimes a common slang meaning has nothing to do with what a person actually meant. In 2009, the Nevada Supreme Court said that the Department of Motor Vehicles could not deny the personalized license plate âHOEâ because Urban Dictionary said it meant prostitute.
