Not, and one hates to quibble, really slang though.

Slang:

"2. The special vocabulary or phraseology of a particular calling or profession; the cant or jargon of a certain class or period." Oxford English Dictionary.

Special phraseology. Certain class. Certain period.

Not wrong, Shiv. A bit too playful for you, perhaps, but not wrong.

The implication being I'm stoo stupid or humourless to appreciate the point.

Merci du compliment.

While the tale is sad, the phrasing is delightful. Kudos for the marvelous use of iambic pentameter and 100 words.

oh lordy, yes, yes, but overall the principle of this site is to have fun. Besides you answered another challenge, and you get points for your team.

The beauty of slang is the fact it is open for interpretation. Shakespeare as slang is OK to me, since many people have a hard time understanding it.

The mod provides a gentle "well-being" charm because you are so polite and do not harass the mod becasue of her crappy typing skills. :D

Intricate, beautiful, and charming. And why apologize to Shakespeare? He's probably give you a heads up deep within his grave. Oooo, now THAT is a creppy thought. ;)
