The ease of communication in our digital age has allowed local coinages to spread more quickly than ever before. Many slang expressions are also developed on college campuses, which attract students from across the country – and indeed around the world – and therefore are not tied to a single geographic region. 多亏了独特的多元文化和飞速发展的科技，过去几年，美国的俚语也光速进化着。各种新式表达和词语层出不穷，此起彼伏。信息时代交流的便捷让一些本地新词得以快速传播，还有许多俚语是在大学校园里被造出来的，大学里汇集着全美乃至世界各地的学生，因此其使用也并不限于某个地区。 But even with this unprecedented ability to cross boundaries, there are still some expressions that are more common in certain parts of the country, and unknown in others.
