What is the best site to learn about English Slang?
Q. I'm writing a book about a girl that gets sent to England to hide out. I want to make sure that the slang is as correct as possible.
Asked by unknown - Tue Mar 3 21:59:52 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm sure websites could help you, but I think the best thing would be to talk to someone in or from England. What area is the girl hiding out in? Some of the slang will differ from area to area, but London slang should be pretty universal. A lot of young people say things differently, though. For example, they use an "f" sound instead of a soft "th" as in "thirty". They also use a "v" sound instead of a hard "th" as in "brother." I lived in England for a while, and I got to understand the slang primarily by meeting people in pubs. However, British magazines helped too. You will probably be able to pick up British magazines at nominal cost at your local Borders or Barnes & Noble. Go for low end, such as Hello and OK! as well as high end… [cont.]

Is slang and colloquial language the same thing?
Q. I have a question for English that says to 'identify two examples of both slang and colloquial language' in a story that we read. Are they the same thing? If not, what's the difference? Thanks so much.

A. colloquial language is like a dialect specific to a particular region, like ain't in the south or something. slang is simply like a widely accepted term for something. kind of like "stuff" or "like". colloquial is how a group of people talk and slang is widely accepted shortening or manipulation of words

How do you say belly button is Italian slang?
Q. I saw a movie w/Roberto Benigini Life is Beautiful, where he is speaking to school children and use's a slang word for belly button? I am aware that the correct word is ombelico! Thank you
Asked by Ranger2692 - Tue Jan 13 16:28:01 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Oh, yeah, that scene is hisotry by now!! The Italian is "Ombelico" Pronounciation: Omb-e (like mEtal or mErry)- lee-ko (put the stress on -ee-) But this is not a slang word, it's just a normal Italian word. I've heard that there is another form, more popular and vulgar, that is "ombellico" with double "LL" the pronounciation is the same but you have to make a stronger L sound

A. Urbandictionary.com is the most popular source, but I have to caution you that not all entries are academic, serious, or even correct! Like many databases online, it is a collaborative and free exchange of information, so use it with caution. Here are some addition sites that you can use to cross-check information: (British slang) (internet slang) (this one also includes slang in MANY languages, and is phrase-specific) Also remember that slang is a relative term, and what fits into this category versus what is the "meaning" of a word is chosen by the speakers of the language.

Etymology and slang connotations of the Turkish word CUBUK?
Q. In modern Greek, a slang term for fellatio is "tsibouki" which is related to the Turkish word "cubuk" meaning pipe. I was wondering: 1. Is "cubuk" also used as a slang term for fellatio in Turkish? 2. Any ideas what the linguistic (pun not intended!) origins / etymology of "cubuk" is? Thanks!
Asked by Vrasta - Thu Jan 29 04:22:00 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. "Cubuk" has no meaning in Turkish slang, as far as I know. It actually means rod or stick rather than pipe. The Turkish word for pipe is "boru", which does have a meaning in slang. 2. According to this etymological dictionary: the word "cubuk" is derived from Middle Persian "chobag", meaning stick or twig.

A. Hi, I have studied Indonesian at uni and I am also an ESL teacher. When I travelled to Indonesia I learned a lot of slang which was very useful in understanding the colloquial language and also in communication with the locals. At uni they I didn't really learn much slang, only from private Indonesian teachers I had but I think it's important as it is a big part of communicative competence in a language. When I teach English I always teach slang, but make sure the students know when it is appropriate to use it, and when it would not be appropriate and give them a lot of examples. I generally might teach a couple of phrases per class, or I use songs written by Australians to teach listening and vocabulary and use these examples also… [cont.]
