Using slang is a social signal. ‌ “What people search for can tell us something about what they are trying to understand and participate in culturally. “Slang may look like a collection of throwaway jokes from the internet, but psychology suggests it is doing something much more interesting. Using slang helps people navigate identity and belong to a community. “Research highlighted by the American Psychological Association, including the work of psychologist Ryan Boyd, shows that our language choices can act as signals of who we are, who we identify with and how we relate to other people. Research by Alice Damirjian (post-doctoral Department of Philosophy) similarly describes slang as a way of identifying group affiliation, distinguishing insiders from outsiders and reinforcing social cohesion. ‌ “Today new slang terms can spread like wildfire around the world thanks to big online communities on social media like TikTok, Instagram, gaming chats, streaming and so on. “The popularity of trending slang words can change quickly, but the psychological need behind them stays the same.
