Sup, Brah?

Sup, Brah?

By: Kyle Langley

Have you ever noticed how much we use slang words now?  It almost seems as if we cannot go a day with out using a modern informal word.  Over the past decade, slang words have become increasingly popular especially among the younger generations. Why is that?

The reason we use slang words is to convey a point or a situation.  Instead of saying "hello" you could say "Sup, brah."  By saying the latter, you are showing the other person that you are more relaxed and enjoying life.  Slang words in some ways are more useful than the 100% formal words we have been using.  Unfortunately, some people us slang words more than they use traditional formal words.  This over-use of the words have given the slang words a bad reputation.  Next time you find yourself about to say a slang word, think about what it actually is conveying.
