rstood, listed and accepted by a majority of
the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such these words
and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialism, on the other
hand, is familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language
and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal
situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to
words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as an
appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang maybe found in
standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in
speech than in writing. 
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech, some slang also passes into standard
speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some
cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their
collective memories. Every generation seem to require its own set of words to describe familiar
objects and events. 
It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for
the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new
objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups;
third, the association among the subgroups and the majority population. 
Finally, it is worth noticing that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as
abstract labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language 
will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will,
during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.
