Slang City went online in November, 2002, but it really started in 1996 with a half a dozen Brazilian busboys in an Intermediate English grammar class. Their constant requests for information on slang led to a course in American Slang for foreign students at The Cambridge Center for Adult Education in Harvard Square that ran for ten years.The class used pop culture like Blind Date, Will & Grace, Friends, and the Jerry Springer Show to teach students about American slang and culture. Students tended to find Jerry Springer particularly educational regarding American culture. The class attracted not only restaurant workers, but also au pairs, high tech professionals, and PhD candidates from nearby Harvard University and MIT.
