This program is discussing the origin of slang, who uses it and what topics of conversation it is used for, ie. sex, death, men and women.
Notes:
Slang has a bad reputation, from it's earliest collection of criminal slang in the 16th century when it was used by 'bad' people.
Booze is arguably the oldest slang word, dating back to the first glossaries. However, it is so common today that it would be considered more colloquial language.
