Slanging it!!!






Scrambling skills are the pre-requisite to ‘belong’…With a neo lingo that’s certainly catching on like that leechy blob of gum on the sole of your shoe, the youth is unleashing a torrent of incoherent words…letters gone haywire, rearranging themselves, pairing up with new found partners to create a new world of ‘slanging.’

Its far from a play on words, it’s the actual playing with words, to give birth to an almost avant garde sounding language. It’s the re-chalking of boundaries of ‘being in’. Maybe its social ostracism taking on a new garb or maybe it’s the prising open still further of the generation gap. Leap frogging in slanging by culling out new words symbolic of behavior patterns that were non-existent earlier or the christening of behavior that have gone unnamed for time in memorial, is the only sure set way to run the rest to the dust.
