Slang Nazi

A slang nazi is someone who rejects the idea that slang is how language evolves and believes it should never be used. They will often "correct" people over slang putting spelling over conveyance.

Person 2: Don't you mean "bitch" and "as fuck?"
Person 1: Says the Slang Nazi with the world's tightest asshole.

slangshot

When someone spits fresh (unfamiliar) slang into a normal conversation, thus rendering it unintelligible. Like being shell-shocked with slang.

The quick introduction of new slang into a conversation. The word equivalent to having a shot of tequila.
Dude, we were just a couple 30yr olds, minding our own business, smoking spliff and hanging at the park when this teen came up. He started to talk about purees and backies and all sorts of thing's we'd never heard. Turns out he wanted weed. We had no clue.

Man, sounds like you've received multiple slangshots. To the childhood. We're just getting too old for this shit.
