For my final paper I picked the topic about slang words. The reason I picked this topic is because I wanted to see how slang words have changed through time and also how it affects the way we speak. I am pretty sure that everyone here has heard different type of slang words when they were growing up like “bro”, “facts”, “YOLO”, “lit” etc. As, the generations progress throughout the years, words also progress into different meanings. This is a topic I want to dive into more, because I want to see how slang expressions end up in our dictionaries and are defined as real words now. I, also, wanted to look into where slang words came from. The problem I am having on this topic is where to look up this information. I don’t know where to start or what key points I am looking for. As I am writing this blog post I am noticing that I have many questions about this topic which is good and bad. I feel like having too many questions will get me off track when writing my final paper. What I have been doing so far is doing a basic search on what slang words have been added to the dictionary.
