The article is quite interesting from a chatty, non-native speaker point of view, but needs fleshing out and some of the assertions need qualification. For example, I'm never happy with prescriptive statements such as "*you never write these forms, but this is how they are pronounced."

slang in American people.
Slang in (the) American(language), but not on (within, inside) the American people.
Drop-dead can also mean just that someone should "get lost".
Quite interesting article, though.
