This study wants to ascertain some slang words and aims of slang used by students in Universitas Islam Makassar. This research applied Patridge's theory (2004) to identify the emergence of slang words and Zhou & Fan’s theory (2013) to find out the functions of slang. This is a descriptive qualitative research. In collecting data, the researchers conducted observation, interviews, and note-taking that considered important during the study.
