Colloquialism, Slangs and other funny language

stuff.

Colloquialisms are region-specific words and phrases that add color and a casual tone
to your writing or speech, but they aren't the only way to accomplish this goal. You can
also learn about other similar terms that can make your writing more interesting.
Several of these overlap with colloquialisms.

Slang - Slang is informal speech, but it isn't necessarily used by everyone in an area.
For instance, young people may use slang that their grandparents don't understand.

Idiom - An idiom is a phrase that has meaning only understood by people who know
the language and culture well. It can be a colloquialism, but it's often more involved.
English idiom examples include "hold your horses" or "let the cat out of the bag."

Jargon - Jargon words tend to be more formal and not used by common people.
They are often associated with specific industries or areas of expertise. For example,
there are many types of political jargon or corporate buzzwords that are only
understood by people in those fields.

Aphorism - Like colloquialisms, aphorisms are used by common people. However,
they tend to be a truism or piece of wisdom, rather than a region-specific method of
expression. "Actions speak louder than words" is a common example.
