Summary/Abstract: The ideas of classical literature and the results of new research in gender studies are rather different when gender differences concerning attitudes towards slang and its usage are taken into account. This paper, thus, compares these results with the results provided by adult subjects in this region. The qualitative research was aimed at checking certain stereotipes, according to which there are big differences between genders concerning attitudes towards slang and its usage. The results of the study are mostly different from the opinions we can find in classical literature.
