“Slang” is typically known as street language. It is informal. In the culture of Pakistan, it may sound disrespectful when you use slang terms with your parents at home. So, note that it is fine to say goodbye using slag words like “Chal Phir jaa,” but it may create trouble with elders. For that reason, you must use the appropriate family vocabulary if you want to avoid scolding from them.
