If grammar applies to all language, and slang is language, then grammar applies
to slang also. For better or worse, many subscribers of this list like to test

"Rock" is of course a very common word nowadays, and has lost some of its
naughty reputation. Not everyone likes it that so popular a word has such a
low class origin, but as with people, a word cannot choose its parents.
