Define the words or expressions (either from your own knowledge, the OED, urbandictionary.com, or whatever source is appropriate). Describe when they first appear in the corpus, and in what sort of contexts they appear (e.g. blog posts, television, everywhere). Explain how these words/expressions tie into your research.
