Slag is an expletive sometimes used by Transformers. First used in Beast Wars, it has caught on in most subsequent series. Slag is one of the most versatile words in the Cybertronian Vernacular.
- Exclamation: "Aw, slag!" (This form is the most common use of the word)
- Noun: "You sickening piece of slag!"
- Verb: "You got to be slaggin' me."
- Adjective: "Slaggin' Computer!"
It is therefore possible to build an entire sentence of this word:
- "Slaggit! The slaggin' slag-faced motha-slaggin' slagger slagged the slaggers."
The literal meaning of slag is 'a vitreous mass left from the refining of metallic ores'. It can also refer to this mass while in its molten state, which floats atop the ore. Slag is, therefore, a waste product, but useful for building roads, fertilizing fields, ballasting track, and of course, a good solid round of cursifying.
