Slangs

About slangs in my country also there are a lot of those. The people uses the slangs when want to make a references for normally things or want to make some comparatives of things that happened. In my country the slangs are popular and tradition 'phrases' than are conserved for a lot of generations. Some slangs have significant meanings like advices. Also i can view the slangs like a little metaphors of the life situations and in other cases are like funny expressions.
I know a little about the slangs or idioms in English because before i study a some about that, here i didn't have many contact with the slangs, a exception with the expression used for the teachers the speaking and listening in the class.
I think that in English the expressions are similar, there are some like has the same meaning, fro example: 'He who laugh last, laugh longest',but there are other than i can't understand, i can't made literal translate, because has other meaning.
