Many foreigners can't understand some phrases in spoken English, there are many reasons, because of idioms maybe,or phrasal verbs not common in their own language ,but the main reason is usually slang.

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.It is especially used by particular groups of people.

For example, there is:

  • youth/teen slang

  • internet slang

  • army slang

  • hip-hop/rap slang

  • slang used by different ethnic groups

  • other

For example if we have situation where someone does something horrible and not very nice we can hear various phrases about the same situation,said in formal,relaxed or informal way.

1.formal

That is utterly revolting.

2.relaxed

That’s disgusting.

3.informal

That’s gross; that’s sick.

Another example can be seen is next situation;

A friend is extremely drunk. So we can say

1.formal

He is in a state of inebriation.

2.relaxed way

He’s drunk.

3.informal

He’s out of his face.

I am going to write top ten American slang words or phrases.

broa friend (often male),a party animal is someone who loves or really enjoys parties,a couch potato a lazy person, someone who always stays inside ,usually in front of TV, to pig out means to eat a lot of food in a messy way, to dump someone means to end a romantic relationship with someone, to ghost someone means you cut off communication with someone you’re no longer interested in, pissed off means very annoyed, hit me up means Contact me, hold your horses means Wait a minute,.tool is a stupid person.es too. If you know some interesting slang expression please

There are many words and expressions, you can find in dictionaries, on the internet or on the street.

If you know some interesting slang expressions please write them down.
