一、俚语的定义
俚语（slang），是一种非习惯用语，是粗俗的或通行面极窄的方言词,用以表达新鲜事物，或对旧事物赋以新的说法。
二、美国俚语的起源及发展
俚语的来源尚不可考，初见於1800年的印刷品，所载为伦敦罪犯们的行话。俚语多出自价值观念上的冲突，表示敌意或轻蔑；也可出自对本集团内成员的讪笑。但俚语的流行，则是一种社会力量的推动而非个人所为。
现今俚语的主流，则为主宰美国当今文化主流的上层人士创造的俚语。而曾经那些被定义为“难登大雅之堂”的美国俚语已频频出现在名报、名著、名人传记中，甚至是美国总统的正式演说中。因此可以说美国俚语已融入了主流文化的“血液”中。
三、俚语的功能
1．俚语能有效的拉近彼此的距离。
2使用俚语表达委婉语。
bun in the oven 。
四、俚语的翻译
on the house，
dear John letter
Plenty of other fish in the sea
Skate on the ice
Icing on the cake
Bloody time
常见的误区主要体现在以下两方面： 1）谚语的滥用谚语（proverbs） 2）习语和俚语混为一谈（idioms）

No bones about it. 意思是：真实的，诚恳的（truly, sincerely or exactly），也就是to make no bones about it.（bone 要加s, it 是指something）例如： His wife is beautiful;no bones about it.（他的太太真是很漂亮） Mr. A made no bones about it when he talked about abortion issue.（当A 先生谈到堕胎问题时，他是诚恳的。） When I spoke on the topic,he said, "No bones about it."（也就是他同意我的看法） No bones about it;the weather is very chilly today.（今天是真的太冷了）
