    Jargon refers to specialized terminology used within specific industries or fields that may not be understood outside of those contexts. Examples include "molding" in construction and "allegro" in music. Slang consists of informal words used to show inclusion in social groups, ranging from small friend groups to websites with millions of users. Slang is more common in speech than writing. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases used in writing, especially in texting and social media, with a period at the end. Common abbreviations include "LOL" for "laughing out loud" and "NSFW" as a warning for inappropriate workplace content.

    Jargon is a specialized set of terms and language that is used in a particular context and
    setting, and is only understood by those who are members of a group or who perform a specific
    trade. It is especially common to find jargon in an industry, such as in law, medicine, academia,
    or an art or sport.
    Examples
    1. Molding: Decorative finishing strip at transitions between surfaces.
    2. Narthex: A passage between the main entrance and main body of a church.
    3. Allegro: Cheerful or brisk tempo.
    4. Coda: Ending section of music.
    5. Wide receiver: A player on the offense who generally runs downfield to catch the football.
    Slang consists of words that are non-standard in a given language and is generally spoken
    to show inclusion in a certain social group. Social groups can be very small—from just a few
    friends—to very large, e.g., millions of people who frequent a website. Slang is usually considered
    informal, and thus is common in speech but not in writing (unless that writing is texting or internet
    chatting).
    Examples
    1. Hashtag: An interesting slang example which is taken from writing and adopted into
    speech, the hashtag is used to define the main theme of a post.
    2. Almonds=Socks: “Almond rocks” rhymes with “socks”
    3. Bye Felicia: Bidding goodbye to someone or something you don’t like.
    4. On fleek: Something looking perfect. From “Eyebrows on fleek.”
    5. All the feels: Lots of strong emotion about something.
    Slang abbreviation is informal language-words that are not typically part of what is
    accepted as correct use of language. Abbreviation is a shortened form of a word or phrase used
    mainly in writing to represent the complete form. It usually has a full-stop at the end.
    Examples
    1. LOL: “Laughing out loud.” Abbreviations are very common slang in current texting and
    social media posting.
    2. DM: “Direct Message,” or is a term used on Twitter for a private communication with
    someone.
    3. AMA: “Ask Me Anything,” an AMA is when someone, usually well-known or from an
    interesting background, goes online and answers questions posed by the community.
    4. NSFW: “Not Safe For Work” is used as a warning before a link that contains anything that
    would not be okay to look at if you’re at work.
    5. YOLO: “You Only Live Once”
