The website for a PBS documentary about the rapid changes in American English entitled "do you speak American?" features a section on the impact of the language use in Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the American slang:
Do You Speak American -- Buffy & Co. Changed How Teens Talk. A Lot.
Apparently it's an excerpt from a book by Michael Adams entitled
Slayer Slang: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Lexicon
Super cool.
UPDATE: (1/7/5) The show, though good, was not as interesting as the articles on the website, IMHO.
