In general, slang is words or a phrase that's very informal and used by a small group of people. With computers and computer-related topics there is a lot of computer slang for an action, a person, or an event. For example, a technician may say to do a three-finger salute when describing pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del on the keyboard.
