colloquial : language or words that that are used mainly in informal conversation rather than in writing or formal speech. example: A collegial reference to jail or prison may be "in the slammer". You may use "in the slammer" with friends or at home. However, you wouldn't use that phrase in a school assignment. Instead you might use a phrase like prison system, penitentiary criminal facility, etc.
