slang = "slang expression"

[Mark Mandel]

Google search for "slangs -slang" gives "about 182,000" raw. On the
first 6 pages most of them are either non-native or bogus or referring
to slangs as we would use the plural, but there are a few that seem
native and genuine. Nots esp. the one I've quoted!!

In this thread by Emmafan911, she asked you guys what slangs do u guys
use a lot. I read your replies, and I just want to straighten
something out.

Here are examples of slangs:
-whatevs
-yo
-toodles
-peeps

Here are what you guys thought were slangs:
-LOL
-OMG
-G2G
-IDK
These are called lingos.

Slangs are words that we use a lot but are not in the dictionaries.
Lingos are abbreviations you guys use mostly online and they're not in
dictionaries either. Slangs are not abbreviations.
