English is one of the few languages which continually adds words to the canon, and doesn't remove them.
To me as a British English speaker, but not an native of England, I enjoy the richness and variety that English has, and am very glad that some people do take the trouble to write it down
for a current dictionary of slang try this
Urban
But "PROLLY" is just Probably, or "SAMMICH" is just sandwich, but spelled like that because people are either dumb/lazy. So they aren't technical words to begin with, they are just slang terms which should be religated as such!
