Slang - argot? jerga? modismo?
Hola gente:
Which word do we use in Spanish? One of the above....or something else?
For example - I know that "pasta" is slang for money. So how do I say this phrase?
pasta es una jerga por dinero ---|-- (I really don't know)
Gracias

En España diríamos jerga.
"Pasta" es jerga para la palabra dinero.
También usamos la palabra "argot" (double click)

Great, thank you heidita!!!
I guess all of them are OK., I would understand any of them.Also I guess that in my country, Chile, "modismo" is the best known.
I would say "Pasta es un modismo que significa dinero".

Muchas gracias scapeuce. Un saludo desde inglaterra.
In Puerto Rico, "pasta" means slow, patience. Esa señora tiene una pasta increible. That woman is incredibly slow or That woman is incredibly patient. Curious use of the word!
