Talk:Colloquialism
From Academic Kids
Is this substantially different than slang? (anon)
- I've listed on wikipedia:duplicate articles
- Slang is the language usage of a particular group of people, while colloquial is closer to conversational. So "yur" is a colloquial form of "your", not slang. Tom Sawyer is colloquial, but not heavy in slang. KellyCoinGuy
Should this be moved to wiktionary:Colloquialism?

- Not necessarily... although there should be an entry there, this article has a lot of legs, as it could start listing colloquialisms... KellyCoinGuy
The most interesting question is where do colloquial phrases go? In wikitionary or here? We have here in Wikipedia, but no such category for colloquial expressions. It would be really nice to have such a collection somewhere... is there already a place? KellyCoinGuy
