002: American English Slang

This episode is LIT!  American slang is used a lot by certain people in the US.  If you don’t know the terms, it can be very hard to join in the conversation, even for native speakers.  In today’s episode, David and I discuss when to use slang, as well as the terms:  slay, crush, kill, destroy, salty, coming in clutch, fly, low-key, sick, extra, done, fam/family, lit, dope, woke, shade/ to throw shade.  Bonus:  we discuss how to order your Philly cheesesteak!  🙂
