Show notes

American slang is used a lot by young people in the US. If you don't know the terms, it can be very hard to join in the conversation, even for native speakers. In today's episode, Rachel and David discuss when to use slang, as well as the terms: slay, crush, kill, destroy, salty, coming in clutch, fly, low-key, sick, extra, done, fam/family, lit, dope, woke, shade/ to throw shade. Bonus: we discuss how to order your Philly cheesesteak! :)
