I think the line is rather blurred. My instinct was that it's slang because it's a relatively recent coinage, it's a pun, and it's not that widely used (or so I assumed – I'd never heard it before). But I see it's used in hundreds of tweets a day as well as a lot of recent articles so "col" is probably OK.

Is it really more slang than col? My feeling is that most words that are widely known are [col] rather than [sl]. ikumen feels to me like its widely known enough to meet the [col] threshold.
