| | Creating Slang |
 | | Generally, slang words show up in culture when someone uses a word in a way that is outside the scope of the word's general meaning. |
 | | Slang and curses both will be used as: nicknames for the act of sex, adjectives meaning "good" and "bad,", blasphemy or irreverent names for religions or gods, defecation, mean people, unattractive people, body parts (especially the genitalia), events to be wished on people (both good and bad), and words for very common items. |
 | | Making your slang fit your characters, and the tone of the story, is the most difficult part. |
