多謝 a_qi 指出在下誤區，slang係集合名詞，不可數。 本帖最後由 a_qi 於 2010-9-25 03:06 編輯
Nope.
"Slang" is uncountable.
You can say "slang expressions" or "slang words" if you want a plural form.
Google dictionary:

回覆 2# a_qi
Thank you so much for pointing out my mistake.
Yes, I have consulted several dictionaries and learned that the word slang is mass noun.
I was taught to use the plural form at school, and took it for granted.
Thanks again for correcting me.:)
