I think slang is kind of idiom.

slang is 俚语, it is different from idiom。 that is why i asked you that question, because it is not proper for the title.

Axe is defenitely a word, but here it doesnt apply its original meaning . In some way, it is used as a "slang ".

[size=+2]idiot box[/size]

Definition: A television.
Example: 1) I wasted my whole night in front of the idiot box.
Etymology: An 'idiot' is a stupid person, and most televisions look like square 'boxes' (containers). This phrase suggests that if you spend too much time looking at the 'box' (television), you'll become an 'idiot'.

Synonyms: boob tube

[size=+2]in one's hair[/size]

Definition: Constantly annoying; bothering someone again and again.
Example: 1) My little brother is always getting in my hair!

2) Be careful how you fill out your tax forms -- you don't want the government in your hair.
Etymology: It can be difficult to remove something that is caught in your hair. For example, if you get chewing gum in your hair it can take hours to get it out -- and it's very annoying to do. So if a person is 'in your hair', they are annoying and hard to get rid of.

[size=+2]sugar daddy[/size]

Definition: A man who gives a woman money and gifts, usually as part of a romantic relationship.
Example: 1) My sugar daddy bought me a new car!
Etymology: Literally, your 'daddy' is your father, but in this phrase 'daddy' refers to any man who takes care of you. And 'sugar' is something that makes things sweet and enjoyable. So a 'sugar daddy' is a man who gives you lots of enjoyable things, like cars and diamonds and money.
