Answer: Vernacular

Step-by-step explanation:

It is used to refer to the informal and regional dialect or vocabulary. Onomatopoeia and oxymoron are not literary devices, while sarcasm refers to a particular type of verbal irony that implies a contrast between what one says and what one really means, which is not present in these quotations.
