People within their little social groups tend to use language that reflects the things that hold that thread together. These threads are movies, music or textual sources such as play or novels.
For example, one who chooses to listen to Hip Hop and watch gansta movies might use terms such as "yo", "boo", "nigga", "sup sup" or "shawty"; whereas people who would prefer such music as punk might use smart and cultured words like "inarticulate", "inauspicious", "oi" and "politics".
Those who play World of Warcraft tend to use terms including or similar to: "gtfo" "stfu" "get back under your bridge troll" "please don't feed the trolls" "paladins can't use maces" "roflmao" "orly?" "nou" or "lf3m for 25m ICC, up to LDW".
A person that is content with their life might use these phrases: "oh jolly good :D" "no thankyou, I've already had some cake today" and "omnomnom, this yoghurt is really yummy today!", whereas sad and lonely person might say things like "oh fml D:" or "yes please, I haven't had enough cake today" or even "FML! No more Mangos"
So, take this as an opportunity to really focus on people outside your own little social group. Listen to their vernacular, expand your own, and grow :D
MooSE out
