A review of the book
The Substance of Style.
[/.]From the review:
"Those old sci-fi movies were wrong. the 21st century doesn't look at all the way they said it would. We citizens of the future aren't wearing conformist jumpsuits, living in utilitarian high-rises, or getting our food in the form of dreary-looking pills. On the contrary, we are demanding and creating a stimulating, diverse, and strikingly well-designed world. We like our vacuum cleaners and mobile phones to sparkle, our backpacks and laptops to express our personalities."
Need I say more?

Part of style is attitude and how you talk.
I know SD has it's own used slang, like 'Walk Safe', 'Chummer', "Mixer', 'Mano', and the like, but here are some other 'Cyberpunk' slang terms:
