[单项选择]After so many years of studying English, you may still get confused like you first come here just because of the slang the students use! Now let us see how "street talk" and "regional talk" are.
Street talk is a way to categorize many "hip" words used on the street. There is a playfulness about street talk.
What about the word "hip" You might have thought that this was derived from "hippie" --a follower of social fashion in the 1960s and 70s. But no, it comes from a much older usage, the word "hep". The word "hip" is marked as "out-of-date slang". But it seems to have come back into fashion.
Other bits of old-fashioned slang are also popular here, such as "cool". The expression "that’s cool" is often used to agree to a suggestion.
The problem with slang and trendy expressions in general is that they change fast, so that only those who are using them all the time can keep up.
A great deal of slang used by students comes from television and films, especially from
A. travel guide
B. language professor
C. school supervisor
D. talkshow host
