280 Commonly-Used American Slang - 1/3

不少人对slang有偏见，我对slang的定义也不是很确定，但slang不是脏话。个人感觉就是很口语话的词，说出来比较活泼，随意，逗人，很潮，年青人用的比较多。有一些slang只是某一些人群用，但很多slang都是在日常生活中能听到的，也有不少slang已和idoms融为一体。电影电视里也随处可见。很多时候，你听清了每一个字，每一个词，把这个字词写下来，你也认识，却不知道别人到底在说什么，这多半就是slang的问题。

这也是我平时看节目和杂志时的一个难点。在网上看到这个资料，280个常用slang，觉的还不错，就整理了一下，先贴1/3，和大家分享一下。

你也许不喜欢用，但知道也无妨；也许你用了都不知道，“big mouth”，“couch potato”也都在这儿划成了slang :-)
