'From the mouths of teens' - Independent

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/from-the-mouths-of-teens-422688.html

Summary

This news article is trying to comprehend what some inner city slang means and highlighting its increased use today. The use of Gus, a 13 year old boy who "wastes no time in decoding it" just emphasises how these words have become so commonly used in everyday English that is becoming normal to know what they mean. Similarly to the 'All raait! It's a new black-white lingo' article it picks up on the fact or reducing social divide by bringing people of different ethnic backgrounds and allowing them to communicate but also that there is a time and a place for this kind of language.

-"English is one of the most dynamically protean(versatile) of all languages."
