In this topic I am going to talk about a very fascinating part of English Language

It may define a generation

Let's take alook at simple examples of slang from UK

Well done my dear

They're really a bunch of useful slangs

These words have a totally different meaning that's

why we should be careful when using them

Well , we're Muslims and we can't just say whatever

we hear just to show that we good native speakers

We need to avoid anything that may abuse our religion

or coservative traditions of our society

Well , dear waiting for more

Be always happy and blessed
