Slang is the use of new informal words or phrases or the use of familiar words or phrases in new ways. Sometimes people begin using slang to express concepts brought about by new technology. For example, development of the Internet spurred new terms such as cyber (dealing with the Internet). Sometimes members of a certian group use slang in order to express a sense of shared identity. For example, jazz musicians invented terms such as gig (performing job) and axe (a person's instrument). People also borrow foreign words as slang. In English, the slang word klutz, or clumsy person, comes from Yiddish. In Spanish, a slang term for "lunch" is lonche, borrowed from English and used instead of the Spanish word for lunch, which is almuerzo.
