This work was able to conclude that
slang has been in existence for a long time and is the informal language of
musicians which could remain from generations to generations. It could build on
its register, add new forms and replacing old forms with new ones. Certain
standard English word denote certain interpretations could have their meaning
altered when used as slang’s they become connotational rather than
denotational.
Finally, slang can be fun to
listen to musicians are to be admired
for their creative tendencies towards conjuring new slang expression. The
speaker is bestowed upon a linguistic capability, he is caught in the spell,
the playfulness and fun-filling adventure of using slang
