Hello Chola and welcome to the forums. Slang is singular and uncountable - it doesn't have a plural form. If you type American Slang into your browser, you will find lots of sites, but here are some to start you off:

Yoko:
Some of my dictionaries say that "deer" is both the singular and the plural form.

Additionally, Yoko,

There is one deer in the park.
There are two deer in the park.

"deer" doesn't take -s in the plural. It's a mass noun. But in my dialect, Canadian English, as I am sure American English shares the same colloquialism (?), it's acceptable:

There are two deers in the park.
