SLANG

I am trying not to use slang so often because I am polite in more cases.If I need to use it, I mostly use it with my friends because they don't correct me and sometimes we aren't aware that we are using it.The problem is when we don't distinguish the difference between the slang and common speech.
I totally agree with statement that definite the slang:"Slang is a kind of language that identify you with the group that you belong to."
I think that every man has his own way of speaking and his own slang.I know that there is queen's language and it is very formal, but queen is also a human being and there is no way that she has never used slang.We have heard that Bush used it in private talks and there is nothing new about it.
I didn't know that slang means a secret language.I think that is more important advantage of it. As we could hear, we can use it in markets or in every kind of institutions where secret codes are needed. So, why don't use slang?Maybe, some of as wants to work in army.Using slang, we can work as secret agents in CIA or White House.Why not?
As long as we use slang in speaking, that is OK, but we have to be careful not to use it in writing. For example, when we say something stupid and we want to correct ourselves, it is easier when we are talking because the written word can be misunderstood. And that is beginning of our problems.
I think that hosts from BBC did a great job by emitting this kind of clip. He made us laugh and that was his aim.I think that he tried not to use the real slang because he didn't call this guy an "asshole" but "douchebag" like that is more polite.I am not surprised by his using of slang because this is a joke and he can use as more of it as he wants.

My experimental phase

When you gave us this topic, I told my friends: ‘OK. I’m not going to write about this because I don’t have anything to say’. I can say for myself that I was always a good kid. I have never been on drugs, I’ve never changed my hair so dramatically and the most embarrassing thing is that I’ve never skipped over my classes at elementary school. But, reading over my diary I found out that I had one stupid phase in my life.
It was in elementary school and the biggest problem at that time was how to attract a very popular boy. I tried everything. But the dumbest thing was that I tried to become another person, one who will make his dreams came true I was trying to join the group of popular ones, to dress like they did, to listen the music of popular group that I didn’t like. It was very difficult to adapt to that kind of ‘society’ because you couldn’t have your own opinion about a certain thing. You just had to think like others did. At that time, I didn’t know I was loosing myself and living my life in a body of another person.
I think that we all had this kind of a phase. In elementary school, we are trying to form a little bit of our personality and to become a special human being, to be unique. That is the period when we meet a lot of people and we are trying to find as much friends as we can to be ‘popular’ in our way. We aren’t considering other options; we are just trying to get what we want. That is our best weapon to go through the future and to be accepted by others.
I can’t say that I regret about my past. I had my bad and good moments like everyone did. I should be grateful because I found out more about myself. Now, I don’t have to be popular to be loved. I can be who I am and have the most wonderful man at the same time. Finally, my dreams came true.
Definitely, I can’t compare my phase with Curly Oxide’s phase. I wouldn’t have the courage to confront my parents on my tradition. But he didn’t do anything bad. He just tried to explore his options and to find his own personality.
Maybe, that is the only way to figure out that those things that we have in our lives are the best or the worst possible ones for us.
