I get hangry if I don't eat breakfast soon after I wake up in the morning.

I often fancy popcorn when I watch movies at home. :lol:


Super slang works. Thanks for the video lesson.

Some great additions by WorldReporter. Here are some sample sentences for those slangs:

When I get started on Netflix I sometimes can't help binge-watching through the whole night.

Sorry. I can't help you until next week. I've got far too much on my plate at the moment.

We have to be at the airport in an hour. We'd better hit the road right away.

Don't worry. You won't have to pay for all of us at the restaurant. We always go Dutch.

Thanks @WordReporter for those great suggestions.

Thank you @Chrome, you beat me to the punch (did it first before me) and posted examples of those new slang terms.

It seems to me that slang is one of the most difficult components of any language, because slang is constantly changing, it has its own in each age, social category.

In order to constantly be aware of new slang, you need to consume books, TV shows, memes - everything related to the English language.

Thanks to everyone who provided examples of slang usage!
