Ok, use a piece of slang in a sentence and then explain it. Since many of us live all around the world should be sorta interesting {-looks at supremelord) American English: "That was the bomb." bomb = totally excellent "Yo dog." dog = man <--  "wassup" = "wazzup" = "Whats up" = "how are you" "Yo, let me dog your hat." In this case, dog is a verb used as "to borrow" so its equivelant to... "Hey, Let me borrow your hat." German: Das war der Hammer! "That was the hammer" hammer = totally excellent Das Auto ist echt Geil! "That car is really horny" this sentence meaning "That is a sweet car" Thats all I can think of for now, slang also varies by region so maybe we'll surprise our fellow countrymen.  |

Ah come on, everyone knows cockney rhyming slang is teh best!!! apples & pears = stairs dog 'n' bone = phone adam & eve = believe nuclear sub (or "battle cruiser") = pub jack jones = own chalk farm = arm aristotle = bottle jam roll = arsehole niagara falls = balls pigs ear = beer swiss bankers = wankers Forsythe Saga = lager ping pong = strong mickey duff = puff = marijuana Posh ‘n Becks = sex For an example of their usage: Confusing anyone...? ;D Just try speaking to a londoner with a really strong cockney accent who insists on using lots of rhyming slang... I use the odd occasional phrase actually, a lot of people round here do without even realising it - it's one of those things that's just kinda filtered into everyday speech in England at least. Kaz |

Hehe yeah it is fun to use, a lot of it has found its way into my vocabulary but thankfully most friends use it too so they know wtf I'm on about Main ones I use are: adam and eve battle cruiser (I'm always there! ;D) jack jones dog n bone Plus a few others. I also realised that me and one of my friends have a massive vocabulary of slang terms that got derived from football, but you'd need to have watched a lot of English Premier League games to know wtf we mean: "That was a bit JESPER!" - if something is shit, we say it is "Jesper"... derived from the player Jesper Gronkjaer who is famed for his erratic crossing of the ball "Fucking hell that was a bit Wiltord!" - Bad shots on goal are "Wiltord's"... in honour of Sylvain Wiltord the Arsenal/France player "FLETCH!!!" - Another one for wayward passing/shooting of the ball... named after Darren Fletcher who plays for Man Utd. We made that one up since we once saw him take a shot from inside the box that went closer to the corner flag than the goal There's more but they would be far too hard too explain to anyone else Kaz |

lol, my friends used name slang as well, only we tended to use people from our school.
IE: "He's pulling a Mike." <- meaning he's acting really stupid
Now where did Supremelord's post go...?

Kaz whenever i watch a movie when an english guy speaks that way, i could never understand even a single word from it! anyway, here's a few slang i use: bad = good ex. That was totally bad, bro!bombed = bummer, terrible (contradicts DS's "bomb" in these here parts ;D ) ex. That show was bombed, dude.t-back = thong (forms a "T" between the cheeks) op = out of place packing shet! = expression when surprised in a positive way |

That reminds me of another usage around my locale.
"I'm bombed out" / "I'm wasted"
Meaning: I'm really tired and not going to do anything at all.
I remember some more now...
"That is seriously sketch" / "That is sketchy"/ "He's a sketchball"
sketch in this case, is meant to describe something abnormal.

"That is seriously sketch" / "That is sketchy"/ "He's a sketchball" sketch in this case, is meant to describe something abnormal. we use "sketchy" to describe situations that may end in vain or if it looks like that there's a slim chance of happening like for example: Joe: "So how'd the interview go? Will you get the job?"
Rick: "Nah... Rather sketchy chance of that happenin...'" |

Sketchy?? That's skater talk! ;D
eg if you landed a trick, but not very well:
"That was sketchy as hell dude!!!"
