Summary/Abstract: The language of Polish students and pupils which is used during their school breaks, is the language characterized by both cohesion and alteration in specifying their reality (neologisms, semantics, borrowings, idiomatic expressions), as well as continuation of the nomenclature which refers to the reality. The students and pupils’ slang comprises their shared thematic circles (e.g. names of school notes, names of students – pupils, names of school subjects). The dictionaries of students and pupils’ slang in 20th and 21st cent., though published in different periods, reflect the tendencies.
