This show is about the connection between language and culture and about slang. Slang is a type of informal language that is typically spoken in certain areas or by a group of people. Slang is humorous and creative, and it certainly makes speaking English more entertaining. Culture is dynamic. Language is dynamic. The intense interaction between language and culture makes new words emerge in diverse places. We will be careful not to use derogatory language that promulgates structures of oppression. Rather, we will explore the creative dimensions of words and how they are constantly changing.
