Slang to Standard: Words That Made the Leap in English
Many new words in English begin as slang within subcultures before gaining mainstream acceptance. Words such as "ghosting," which refers to abruptly cutting off communication, and "binge-watch," describing the act of watching multiple episodes of a show in one sitting, were once informal but are now officially recognized. The journey from slang to standard shows the dynamic nature of language and how social trends influence our vocabulary. These new words in English highlight how language adapts to include the voices and expressions of younger generations and internet communities, keeping it vibrant and inclusive.
