So a lot of young people uses slang obviously, but you could say Korean slang shortens words.
I'm pretty sure we English speakers do too. Eg- Lmfao, WTF, Wth, LOL, PPL, FTW, etc.
Korean does that too but it may be kinda difficult. I'm pretty sure the words I wrote down below they were in the Korean Slang chapter, but in this CH, I'm just explaining them.
1) Ssam: Teacher
Original word- Seong Sang Nim
*combined the two s' together and put 'am'
2) Beffe: best friend
Original word- best friend
Koreans pronunciations for B and F are pretty bad LOL soz, so if you took the 'Be' and the 'Ph' from the best friend, it Will sound like Beffe.
This word was not invented until the Kdrama 'My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho' came out. Then B A M it went popular.
3) eomppa: mom and dad
Original word- eomma, appa
As you can see, you just take out the 'ma' and the 'a' from each word and if you combine it, it means mom and dad.
4) selca: selife
Original word- self camera
Just basically like Selfie instead SEL-f camer-A.
5) chimaek: Chicken and beer
Original word- chicken, Maekjoo
Since chicken and Maekjoo (Korean liquid) are a good combination in korea, they say CHIMAEK.
