In my everyday conversations, I do use slang, especially when communicating with my friends.
I use slang to emphasize some things that I say or to shorten long words. For example, I may shorten "what happened to you" into "wham to you" or to emphasize how slow someone is, I may call them a "bep". I also use slang to be less formal in my conversations with my peers.
I think I use slang appropriately because whenever I have conversations with my peers and I use slang, they understand exactly what I am trying to say. However, when addressing persons older than myself, I minimize or even eliminate slang entirely out of the conversation as a sign of respect. I talk in proper English and make the conversations as formal as possible.
