Slang and dialect - I dislike calling all dialect slang, it's political. And not linguistics.

@boristheblade5933 I guess slangs pluralized like that is carrying the sense of vernaculars and dialects which are much more legitimate plurals to me - but the speakers make the language. There's no such place in the British Isles as the platonic universe-ity of RP and standard English only, except perhaps some voice training schools for actors and other professional purposes. But the same voice coaches, the acting based ones certainly, are actually interested in a wide variety of dialects and vernaculars, and the internally consistent rules that make them sound authentic. Business and marketing also need to concern themselves with register and getting the artistry and self presentation aspects of slang, dialect and vernaculars right for their audience. They don't always want to sound authentic, sometimes cheesy cringe has its own value for getting stuck in people's heads. But it never works for the conservatives youth wing!!

@boristheblade5933 But actually if you're referring to the OP - that use of slangs was elision or synecdoche in reference to videos in the series

It's colloquial: this is social media. Keep your hair on.
