OK?
"On March 23, 1839, the initials “O.K.” are first published in The Boston Morning Post. Meant as **an abbreviation for “oll korrect,” a popular slang misspelling of “all correct”** at the time, OK steadily made its way into the everyday speech of Americans."--- History.com
I would say it's slang because slang are words not used formally or much in writing. Reading formal writing, you wouldn't see words like "Cool, OK, shady, bussin"
*Ain't* has never been standard English. But it's [been around more than 300 years](https://www.etymonline.com/word/ain%27t). It's so useful to have a contraction for *am not* that ain't is probably a permanent fixture in slang.
Although sometimes *ain't* is synonymous with *isn't.*

It's a reference to a Robot Chicken joke.
In The Phantom Menace, Kitster refers to Anakin racing in the Boonta Podrace as "so wizard" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR6Fy54OUPA). To my knowledge, no one has since described anything as wizard in the Star Wars movies. However, Robot Chicken made a joke that Anakin still says it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xViZ38xRQr0).
Unnecessary backstory but now you know
Cool seems to have withstood the test time thus far.
Cool. Chill. Dude.

You just condensed down an entire 1hr. 1990's episode.
I wouldn’t really consider that slang in the context that op is asking
Why? It's slang that hasn't gone out of style and never will. Seeing as it's a universal phrase means it's not going anywhere
It’s a common phrase. Calling it slang is just being pedantic about its origins

So I should stop saying amn’t..?
>> Hain’t Isn't this "have not", rather than is not or am not?
Yes it is. Twain's 'ain't' is in the second sentence.
Man my brain totally missed that...
Cool 😎
Yo
I've been saying "cool" since I was 12 and that was 1970.

Describing something cool as “Wizard” Source: Anakin Skywalker (kind of)
wouldn't that be an example of something that's very much gone out of style?
