  Respected Sir/Madam:

  We are working on a project called “The American Slang”. We need to
collect the definition of slang, nature and origin of American Slang , Words
or Phrases or Sentences used as slang and general rules for th usage of
slang . Give their meaning and their correct usage along with some twenty
examples. I could get some information about “what is slang?”. But regarding
history, nature, origin, rules to use slang and things like that, I could
hardly collect any data. If you can help me in this regard, it would be very
generous. May be if you have some data regarding this, you can send it to me
through e-mail. You can also send me the name of websites from where I can
collect the information relating to “American Slang”.

  Thank You for your help in advance.

  Prem Kumar. <mailto: mgpremkumar at yahoo.com >
