Learn English Slang - 5 new words

Here are 5 common English slang words. Remember that slang is very casual and should only be used in informal situations. These words are usually used by young-adults. I'll let you decide if you are too old to use them!

to cane

To do something at high speed or recklessly (British English only):

"I caned it all the way down the motorway. I've never driven so fast."

As a verb: "I don't think you should of dissed him in front of everyone. He looked really upset."
