Again, could just be bitterness lol.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with standard English or school taught English. As someone has already mentioned English is an international language derived from various roots such as latin, greek, etc.
I completely agree with you in regards to terminology such as "bling," "breezy,"and "strap," etc. There is really no reason to create these foolish words. In the past I was one of those ignorant individuals who constantly spoke in this manner. However, there really isn't any point. It is highly unlikely that these terms can be used in the job setting, classroom, or any professional setting. Energy spent on committing these types of terms to memory is a complete waste of time. Focusing on learning college level words would be much more useful; especially if one was planning on taking exams such as the GRE, GMAT, etc.
