Slang from your country/area

I am interested to know some slang from where you all live :D I'll give examples of some from Belfast Ireland

Swall - To drink alcohol "Lets go have a swall"
What the craic (pronounced crack) - "Whats up"
Aye - Yes
Feg - Cigarette
Mon well - fighting talk
Banter - Having a good time with some "He is great banter"
Dead on - Being nice "He is dead on"
Sound - same as dead on "he is sound"
Munter - name for woman of 40 years plus that tries to dress and act like a teenager
Eejit (pronounced e-jit) - friendly way of calling someone an Idiot "He is an ejit"
Pull - trying to pick up the opposite sex "I am going out on the pull"

There are some more but are irrelevant as I think they may also be used elsewhere in the world

You Fillipino? Cool haha. I'm like 25% Fillipino :p

About 95% of all slang in England is now either representative of expletives or used by people that don't speak English so, there's not really a lot I can put down in here.

:/

But I like to call people 'plebs'. Basically means 'idiot, imbecile, useless' etc. I like to use the word 'twonk' as well but I think that's a word from Birmingham so it doesn't really count as local slang.

I have never heard most of these I think I am going to try to use them on my friends maybe confuse them a bit! :'D

Just listen to the Blue Collar Comedy Tour guys and you'll get my slang.

Irish slang sounds gross. :mellow:

I guess some typical SoCal surf-culture slang.

Gnarly = Challenging/Awesome.
Swol = Muscular/In-Shape.
Bro = Brother.

From my Turkish side there isn't really much slang about Fethiye, so meh. People wouldn't understand it anyway, haha.

michigan doesn't have a lot of slang, but here's some:

pop means soda. "think i'll have a pop"
to dust means to kill. "got the deer in my sights and dusted it"

i really don't know any else >-< michigan is so lame.

Coke = soda
Y'all = you all

Plus a whole bunch of Spanish terms that I can't post here. >_>

I love when the brand name becomes the generic slang term for something.

Such as a 'Hoover' for a vacuum cleaner (Hoover is the most commonly-known brand).
Coke/Cola for soda.
Hell, some people around here say they're 'gonna go get some Mickey-D's' (McDonalds slang) and then end up going to Burger King instead.

Haha, hmmm. I'm from Ireland so...

fag = cigarette
skanger = certain type of person from inner city Dublin
culchie = country person (or simply someone not from Dublin)
jackine = person from Dublin (they don't like that)
bogger = country person with a thick accent (not a nice thing to call someone)
langer = person from Cork, or a drunk
langered = really drunk
plastered = really drunk
awsified= really drunk
stocious = really drunk
puss = sulky face "take that puss off ya!"
deadly = cool/awesome
grand = fine/ok
gander = look "I'll have a gander"
eejit = idiot
spanner = idiot
gombeen = idiot
gobshite = idiot
savage = same as "deadly"
class = awesome
yoke = thing "that yoke"
quare = weird/strange
fierce = very "it was fierce cold last night"
hames = messed up. "he made a hames of it" would mean "he messed it up"
hames = can also mean a clumsy person "Ah, ye hames!"
How's the craic?/ What's the story?/Hows she cuttin! = Any fun?/ What's up?
Cop = realise "Did you not cop that he was lying?"
Cop on = realise "he copped on" It can also be said "Cop On!" meaning "Get a life!"
Leggin it = running away
