Slang exists in all kinds of language. Not only English has slang, but also Chinese has a lot of slang. I think the main reason just like this article mentioned, people are individuals who desire uniqueness. Slang always has metaphoric meaning. It can be secret so young people like to use slang to show that they belong to a certain group.
Someone may criticize the use of slang, believing that it is informal language. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter the language itself. It depends on the person who uses slang. Shakespeare often used slang and his writing became literature. Slang can properly express someone’s thought. You may find that sometimes you use a lot of sentence still couldn’t express your thought, but slang could. Don’t you think so?
