Slang often becomes popular through social influence and media. When a word or phrase is used by celebrities, influencers, or in viral content, it can quickly catch on with a wider audience. Slang is often a way for people, especially younger generations, to express identity and group membership. Over time, if a slang term is used widely and often enough, it can become a permanent part of the language.
