By its nature, slang is often ephemeral and it is usually confined to spoken genres of language. Thus, it can be difficult to find records of older slang, and any history of slang is certain to be incomplete. Slang is often confined to particular subgroups within a society and it is often used to conceal its meaning from members of other subgroups in society. It is no coincidence that some of the first dictionaries of, for example, English slang were collections of the language of criminals and sailors. Indonesian slang is no different, so in this paper I will look at the slang of two subgroups in particular: preman (or gangsters) and gay men.
