Young Adult Slang
Welcome!
This website contains a glossary of 100 slang words used by a group of men and women aged between 20 and 21 years, living in Coventry, West Midlands. The slang terms listed are not necessarily words used only in Coventry, but a representation of slang language used by young adults.
Within the website you will find:
- an overview of why the website has been created
- a brief explanation on what slang is
- how the data has been collected
- instructions on how search the glossary

In order for the glossary to be an accurate representation of slang words used by the chosen group I have not omitted any words that may cause offence. Many of the slang terms listed relate to genitalia, alcohol and profanity. People of a sensitive nature and children under 16 years of age are not advised to browse this website.
