Slang

Most slangs I know are slangs that teens like us uses, such as lol, wtf, sup, and dude. Of course, if you are a older person, you might not know what these words means. Slangs are like codes that people in a certain region would understand, this means that not all people would get these slangs. These slangs can be used in different circumstances. When you heard something very funny, you would say "lol", which means laugh out loud. When someones says something surprising or unbelievable, we would normally say "wtf", which means what the f***? There are also some slangs that only people in a certain region would know. Such as, 88 which means bye bye in chinese. The word 8 sounds like the world "掰". To me slangs are part of my life now. I just say it with out hesitating. I'm not exactly sure if this is a good thing or bad. At lease I haven't been involved in any problems from using these slangs. Slangs could make conversations more fun. Using these slangs will make the conversation more relaxed and unserious. In stead of saying the person's name when calling them, you would say "dude" instead.
