Hi,
According to the following definition of slang, it's been considered to be expression. So what is the difference between slang and expression?
Slang words are expressions that only certain groups of people use and understand.
For example, if we assume that ONLY English-speaking Muslims use "I beg you to pray" (I am not sure if this English equivalent is used by them, but this is a direct translation from Persian), can we claim that this is a slang? or is it an expression of that specific sub-group?, and why is it so?
