You're mixing up kids slang with code switching. I don't find them to be equivalent at all. That's the greater point I was making. We use the word slang pretty broadly, but in kids it's quite shallow. They rely heavily on context because they don't really have the vocabulary to do otherwise.

Then I fundamentally disagree. I think slang is a form of code switching.
