Slang should be celebrated, not condemned. It enriches our language from bloomers to booty, from cool to ceebs, and from doing a Lohan to LOLZ<\/p>\n
The borderline-cult film Mean Girls contains an amusing insight into young people’s eagerness to leave their linguistic trademark on the world. Schoolgirl Gretchen Wieners describes any pleasant situation as "fetch" in an attempt to coin a new term for cool: "It’s, like, slang from England." Anti-hero Regina George shoots her down: "Gretchen, stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen. It’s not going to happen!"<\/p>\n
How many potential new slang words have been dumped for not being sufficiently cool? Not enough, some will argue.<\/p>\n
