Examples of Slang:
- "Lit" - Meaning something is exciting or excellent.
- "Salty" - Referring to someone who is angry or bitter.
Colloquialism, on the other hand, refers to informal words, phrases, or even grammar that are used in everyday conversation.
It is more widely accepted and understood within a particular region or community.
Examples of Colloquialism:
- "Y'all" - A colloquial contraction of "you all" commonly used in Southern American English.
- "Wanna" - A colloquial form of "want to" used in informal speech.
In summary, while both slang and colloquialism are informal language forms, slang is often more specific to certain groups and can be more transient, while colloquialisms are generally more widely understood within a particular community or region.
