So for my final essay I have the thought of a topic and kinda a basis but not exactly sure what to expand on. So recently I have encountered people that are not familiar with the slang I am using. Some examples were ‘in my bag’, ‘cappin’, and ‘zooted’. Just some examples and I was either told not to use them as it didn’t look good for the person or just that i had to explain myself as to how i came across the word and even had to urban dictionary it for them to believe that it was a real word. So i will be trying to find where the words originated and how they were intended to be used then how they are used now. So i figured thats what i would like to do but I am not sure how to expand on that and relate it back to our class topics. Also how many words should I be working with, because there is way to many slang words to do ‘most’ but I also don’t know how much and what they should be. Also for research sources like i plan on googling and searching the words and see what i get as a result. I’ll be using the class text i believe and maybe the csi library as a resource if i need it. I dont think i need to survey people but i do think it would be interesting as to see if people know the words and their meaning because that part really interests me. So im also not sure how to go about it.
