meta-slang:

“meta-” greek preposition, commonly used in english as a prefix, of the same name which refers to that which is ‘above’ or ‘beyond’; self-referential in nature +

“slang” words and/or phrases that are oftentimes more than not regarded as very informal in everyday conversation use

noun: refers to slang that is used in a particular way or context such that, the use of said slang itself in turn refers another piece of slang.

or simply put: slang about slang

– meta-slang is most oftentimes slang used as a word, acronym, phrase, action, or expression which itself refers to another piece of slang (that is similar in nature), which in turn (by definition of “slang”) refers to a word, phrase, action or expression that is usually deemed unconventional or not proper/respectable in everyday, general public conversation when other such sufficient, knowable expressions or words could easily suffice respectively.

– often used in witty, cunning, comedic, and/or unintentional purposes and contexts.

ex) ham: a slang acronym in english that stands for the expression “hard as a motherf-cker”. in turn, the expression “hard as a motherf-cker” is oftentimes used as slang to refer to ‘someone who puts a great deal of effort, energy, or p-ssion into a given action or situation.’ therefore, the use of ham can be then be viewed as an example of meta-slang.
