WORDS AND PHRASES WE OWE TO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
The English language owes a great debt to
Shakespeare. He invented over 1700 of our common words by changing nouns into
verbs, changing verbs into adjectives, connecting words never before used
together, adding prefixes and suffixes, and devising words wholly original.

TEEN SLANG WORDS IN ENGLISH
According to Oxford and
Cambridge, Slang is a
type of language consisting of words and phrases that are regarded as very
informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted
to a particular context or group of people.
Slang is vocabulary that is used between people who belong to the same social group and who know each other well. Slang is very informal language. It can offend people if it is used about other people or outside a group of people who know each other well. We usually use slang in speaking rather than writing. Slang normally refers to particular words and meanings but can include longer expressions and idioms.
