简单的说，民间广泛使用的、约定俗成的口头语就是俚语，美国的“俚语”指在美国非常普遍使用的、说出来大家都知道的英语俗语。例如，警察的正规说法是police，但俚语是cop。Cop这个词只能大家平时私下讲，不能当面对着一个美国警察这么说。 其实，中文也有俚语，例如 “富翁”的俚语就是“大款”，“不聪明的人”俚语是“二百五”。俚语多是口头使用，有时还带贬义，不能跟当事人当面说，一般只能背后说。俚语书面用不多，但也不是完全不可以书面用，只是欠文雅。举例:ace· He's an ace reporter.· MEANING: very good· action· Do you know where the action is in this town?· MEANING: excitement· airhead· My sister's boyfriend is a real airhead.· MEANING: stupid person· all wet· Your ideas about politics are all wet.· MEANING: completely wrong· all-nighter· I almost fell asleep during the test after an all-nighter.· MEANING: after studying all night.· ammo· The gun was useless after the killer ran out of ammo.· MEANING: ammunition· antifreeze· I really need some antifreeze in me on cold days like this.· MEANING: liquor· armpit· This town is really an armpit.· MEANING: undesirable place· awesome· What an awesome sunset.· MEANING: great· bad· Wow, that was really a bad movie.· MEANING: intense· barf· He barfed all over the seat of the airplane.· MEANING: vomitted· bashed· The boat was bashed beyond recognition.· MEANING: crushed· beat· After working all day I am really beat.· MEANING: exhausted· beemer· He just bought a new beemer to drive to work in.· MEANING: B.M.W. car· bench· He was benched during the basketball playoffs.· MEANING: taken out of the game· bent· It's OK.
