Slang is never appropriate to use in social situations.

a. True

b. False

It is true that slang is never appropriate to use in social situations. Slang, by dictionary definition, are words not part of a standard language vocabulary and used only by particular group of people and therefore, informal. These are words that only a certain group of people understand and is not applicable to a bigger group especially when the situation entails formalities. This is not appropriate because words are so powerful that it could take away the solemnity of a certain situation or tradition.

The answer is false.
