  Do you sometimes have a hard time understanding what Americans are talking about among themselves? Doyou want to know why? The answer is, Americans are crazy about using slang 1. They tend to overdo 2 it, though.

Otherwise, slang is fun to use. You should try it. And some slang is easy to understand. For example, ifsomeone is "off the hook 3," it means that he is no longer in trouble. The "hook" is a fish hook. If a fish ison the hook, of course, it is in trouble. If it is "off the hook," then it is out of danger. Didn't we tellyou slang is fun? Besides, it should at least help you feel more at home and not like a fish out of waterwhen you speak to Americans.
