Dear Jackie: I think the amount and complexity of slang is a function of the rapidly increasing complexity of our society. Imagine for instance what the "Yellow Pages" of Victorian England would have looked like compare to today's. It would probably have been less than a tenth of today's in size. And every Yellow Page has its own repertoire of slang.
