I used to say things like fireplug for fire hydrant and icebox for refrigerator which are more archaisms than slang words. Every so often I say icebox, but it is a slip, not said on purpose. I use idioms sometimes when I write and catchphrase when I talk but only ironically, but that is about it. Catch-22 is a favorite because it was coined in Pennsylvania by Joseph Heller. Catch-22 is like Pennsylvania's own literary slang.
