Slogan
A slogan is a memorable phrase used in political or commercial context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose.A political slogan generally expresses a goal or aim ("Workers of the world, unite!"), whereas an advertising slogan is most often intended as a memorable identifier ("The real thing").
