Slag (slang)

"Slag" is one of the most versatile words in the Cybertronian vernacular. It is most commonly used as the general expletive, a use that originated during Beast Wars, and it has caught on in most subsequent series. Its use is wide and varied:


 * Exclamation: "Aw, slag!" (This form is the most common use of the word)
 * Noun: "You sickening piece of slag!"
 * Verb: "You got to be slaggin' me."
 * Adjective: "Slaggin' Computer!"

It is therefore possible to build an entire sentence of this word: [Provided you add "the".]
 * "Slaggit! The slaggin' slag-faced motha-slaggin' slagger slagged the slaggers."

The term made its first appearance in the episode "The Immobilizer" of the original series (Starscream, when faced with the realization that the Autobots are actually smart, said, "We should vaporize those Autobot fools and fuse their carcasses into slag!"). It was then used as an insult in "The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2" of the original series (Galvatron to the Hate Plague-infected Cyclonus: "Die, you worthless piece of slag!", right before he became infected himself).
