I love hearing how people talk English using slang!! So I'm curious what are your favourite slang words and what do they mean. And words from other languages you use in English (I know German uses many English words and pronounces them in a German way)
Some of my favourite are:
Wack = not cool
Sick = totally cool
Yebo = yes (Zulu)
Eish = expression similar to a sigh (Zulu)
:=X:
um...
Sped = Special Ed kids. Mentally retarded individual. the really stupid people.
That's a strange one...
xD we use it in the US...in school mostly.
"Are you in the sped class?"
"HAHAHA. SPED."
"Nerds and Speds, hehe..."
I had never heard of it! Interesting!!
I rather like the term "willy-nilly". Contrary to appearance, it does not refer to a specifically male part going soft, but is a synonym for "haphazardly".
I used to like "shenanigans" until the hipsters found it and started "calling" it willy-nilly. Damn them.
And "doofus" is always good for when my go-to insult "idiot" is a little too harsh.
xD LOL WE USE SHENANIGANS STILL!
and "YOU TURKEYS!" (: my dean would yell at the speds...
:omg: i love those...
at school we usse real rude words instead of "idiot"

You know, "shenanigans" makes me think there's a family of Irish ne'er-do-wells hanging somewhere close. "Hey, look. It's those Shenanigans again, up to no good as usual. Their poor, poor mother..."
some how it reminded me of a word we use at school...
:Tendency meaning rubish
TENDENCY?! O_O...how is it used?
The sentence "Don't you come here with your tendency!"
We often use it when we are being racist "Don't come here with your black tendency"
Lots of good words. Some words I like:
lackadaisical - meaning lazy/very lazy
upchuck - means to vomit, but the word just sounds funny to me

Once in grade school, a buddy of mine decided to look up synonyms for "vomit". One of them—swear to God—was "holler New York".
