A total of 38 English slang words are compiled from the respondents who wrote other English 

slang words that they know and they use besides the slang words in the eight question. The slang 

words consist of 16 acronyms (42,10%), 15 the new insight of the pre-existing words (39,48%), 3 

apocope (7,90%), 4 mixing words (10,52%). From all respondents’ answer, the most frequently 

written slang word in the questionnaire is OTW with six respondents. It is followed by BRB, Fuck, 

GBU, LMFAO, 

and WTF with four respondents in each word. After that, there are BTW and FYI with 

three respondents who wrote them and then bollock,  bro, crap, creepy, gimme, IDC, LOL, nuts, and 

pussy 

with two respondents in each word. The other words written by one respondent for each word 

can be seen in the table above. 

 

The result of respondents’ answer from this ninth question shows that respondents mostly 



know and use acronym. Besides, the new insight of the pre-existing words is the second most common 

kind of English slang words written by the respondents. There are also respondent who wrote apocope 

words, apocope is the omission of  a syllable or letter at the end of a word. Apocope is the opposite of 

aphaeresis, where aphaeresis is the omission of a syllable or letter at the beggining of a word. The term 

aphaeresis is often use but not always limited to the loss of an unstressed vowel in historical phonetics. 

Example of the apocope is freakin’ from freaking word. Beside that, there are some respondents who 

wrote clipping words. Clipping is to create words by omitting syllables, for example bro in brother

So, the ninth question answered the last problem formulation that the most type of slang word which is 

most frequently used by the respondents is acronym.
