According to Mario Pei, slang is common to English as well as to foreign languages (80). Many words that
were once considered slang are now words of full, legitimate standing in our language. Some of these words
are strenuous, spurious, clumsy, and bogus. Even Shakespeare introduced into current usage such slang
terms of his day as hubbub, fireworks, fretful, (to) bump, and (to) dwindle. Pei estimates that about 90 per cent
of all slang words eventually become permanent (Johns 12).
