Slang Lives!
Find out the meanings of hyphy, air rage, and ballsalicious on the Urban Dictionary.
Incidentally, ballsalicious was coined/created by the fabulous Jon Stewart about Mr. Sexy Geeky himself, Stephen Colbert.
I love slang because it's a reminder that language is alive and ever-changing. Often it involves breaking the rules of grammar (e.g. double negatives: I can't get no satisfaction, That don't make no sense), but to great effect. I think many grammarphiles can appreciate this, or at least I hope...
