Answer 2

Slang words and phrases are part of every day speech to the point that it becomes part of the language and normal speech. So it can be difficult to determine what is slang and what isn't. Also slang terminology can differ widely from region to region, within the confines of a community or race of people, and even within a small group or clique of people. If you are from "up north," the phrase "**** the bed," for example, means that something broke. "I went to start my car and I believe that it has **** the bed." would mean that it doesn't work. In the south, the phrase "ninety to nothing," often means very fast. Another would be "dragged me from pillar to post," which translates "all over the place." In a black community, "Homey" would likely refer to a friend or close neighbor.
I hope this has shed some light on your question. Slang is everywhere. Folks manipulate the language to communicate what they think and feel, so the slang is slung as far and wide as people's thoughts and feelings.

Answer 3

Before using slang, you should learn to speak correctly (not PROPPER like one answer suggests).
Most of the slang used in England and mainly in London, is really American slang, very little true English 'London' slang is used.
I looked through the answers given so far and I am sorry, 'you don't have a chance'

Answer 4

Wanna get down with English? Bitchin'!
Slang changes a lot ... like every other day. If you are not fluent enough in the language to know whether you have asked the question correctly (and you didn't, BTW), you should not even attempt to use it. You will just sound "funny."
Ever seen Dan Acroyd and Steve Martin doing their "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" routine on old Saturday Night Live shows? THAT's what non-native English speakers sound like when they try to use slang ... funny and pathetic.
Just learn standard. If nothing else, you will be understood.

Answer 5

LOL. I think it'd be more helpful to use traditional English if you wish to improve. But I tend to use slang every now and again. So here's the important slang phrases if you wish to use the colloquial, vernacular:

Hello, is there anything new? (or maybe just used as a greeting):
"Yo', wassup?" or "'sup?"

Friend (male): "Homedawg/homie"

Let us meet up to enjoy each other's company: "'ey, let's hang out"

I don't wish to speak with you any longer: "'yo, shut the heck up"

I want to date you: "Wanna go out?"

Let's watch a movie: "Let's catch a flick"

Gosh, darn it: "Bollocks!"

I think you are being unfaithful: "You skanky whore"

Hope this was helpful!

Answer 7

A proper foundation in the language would be advisable BEFORE trying to interpret slang phrases.

Answer 8

Whats is up homie? Have you been to H-town yet? Peace out doggy!

Translation- I assume you know what "what is up means". "Homie" is just a slang word for friend. H-town stands for Houston, Texas. It became a popular term after many rappers began using it to refer to where they used to live, Houston, Texas. Peace out is just a modern way of saying "Peace!". And "doggy" is just similar to homie, just a friend or partner. Hope this helps, and I hope you are succesful in trying to learn English.

Answer 9

Learn proper English first, then worry about the slang.

Answer 11

Slang ain't cool.

Learn English idioms, not slang. Like when one has the blues, one is sad. Seeing red, is being very angry. Green with envy.
