Using Slang Words and Expressions with Friends

One interesting slang example that Bob shares is the practice of turning the 's' sound into 'sh' in his friend group. For instance, instead of saying 'summer', they say 'shummer', and instead of 'slang', they say 'shlang'. This humorous mispronunciation of words is a playful way to interact and bond with friends. Bob mentions that the joke is often to slightly mispronounce words, and if both friends participate, it indicates a level of understanding and humor between them.
