Let me just say that I love Spanish slang translation. I already love words and meaning, so for me it's really cool to see how words can change meaning across boundaries.
Because Spanish is spoken by such a broad range of people and cultures, there is a lot of room for variation in the language itself. This leads to an incredible amount of Spanish slang that you could study the rest of your life.
Spanish slang is an interesting phenomenon. When I was in college, I was fortunate to take a class titled "Border Spanish." It was probably my most favorite class in college. In that class, one of the biggest insights I had was that Spanish slang (at least most of it) follows certain rules of language. I had always thought of slang as random variations of language that people made up. That wasn't quite the case.
