''('''Note''': Readers are encouraged to read the following post in a 1940's radio advertisement voiceover style.)''<br />
<br />
'''Slag''' is an expletive sometimes used by Transformers. First used in the episode ''[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]'' of the ''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|original series]]'' (Galvatron to the hateplague-infected Cyclonus: "''Die, you worthless piece of slag!''", right before he became infected himself), and later on ''[[Beast Wars]]'', it has caught on in most subsequent series. Slag is one of the most versatile words in the Cybertronian Vernacular.<br />
<br />
*'''Exclamation:''' "Aw, slag!" (This form is the most common use of the word)<br />
*'''Noun:''' "You sickening piece of slag!"<br />
*'''Verb:''' "You got to be slaggin' me."<br />
*'''Adjective:''' "Slaggin' Computer!"<br />
*'''Affirmation:''' "Slag yeah!"<br />
<br />
It is therefore possible to build an entire sentence of this word:<br />
<br />
*"Slaggit! The slaggin' slag-faced motha-slaggin' slagger slagged the slaggers."<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The literal meaning of slag is 'a vitreous mass left from the refining of metallic ores'. It can also refer to this mass while in its molten state, which floats atop the ore. Slag is, therefore, a waste product, but useful for building roads, fertilizing fields, ballasting track, and of course, a good solid round of cursifying.<br />
* In British English, it's also slang for "[[Wikipedia:Slag (slang)|skank]]". Hmm. Showings of ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' in the UK were on early morning magazine show GMTV, and the word was usually excised. ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' seems to have escaped without censorship so far, but this may be because old people watch GMTV, whereas Nick Toons (the satellite channel which airs ''Animated'' in the UK) is mainly watched by hyperactive children.<br />
