Choose the paragraph with the better structure.

There has been just as free-and-easy an inter-borrowing of slang as of legitimate words among various sections of the English language world. No longer do British audiences need a printed glossary to understand an American detective play. "Tough guy," "lay off," "cop," "oh yeah," are among terms that an English police officer hates to admit have gotten into the vocabulary of British youth. Americans have borrowed English terms like "fed up," "swank."

The British and the Americans have exchanged many slang words over the years. British theater audiences who once needed a printed glossary to understand an American detective play now understand such slang expressions as "tough guy," "lay off," "cop," and "oh, yeah." English police officers sometimes hate to admit they understand the vocabulary of British youth. Americans, in turn, have borrowed such British slang as "fed up" and "swank."
