I still use "fuckbeans" (from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) on occasion.

If my life was a movie, someone would be able to make a 10-hour youtube video of me saying "for real" and "for sure".

There are a whole bunch of Scottish ones as Fetcher outlined in the OP. Only a few creep into my regular vocabulary.
'Sound' - cool 'Mad wae it' or 'mwi' - my personal favourite 'drunk' synonym 'Hoaching' - busy, crowded |

"Groovy" is also part of my vocabulary. |

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.

Today I heard some kids describing places as wet. From what I could gather, it means areas that have a lot of drugs. As opposed to dry. I thought it was pretty apt. Also why did this thread die? :(

I like to record music in a drainage pipe so I was obviously smoking ganja down there one day and these high school kids come along because they wanted to practice their tagging. But I remember them asking me if I was "*****ing" because I get dank stuff and the whole town smells when I light up or even pack a bowl. I thought it was a strange, if a tiny bit racist, way to say getting ****ed up. Anyway, they threw up a few juvenile signs on the drainage pipe and I played to them doing just that. They must've thought I was one weird ass *****er. |

Some Canadian slang: Tim's/Timmy's = Starbuck's friggin' = freaking eh = yeah, what, meh, or whatever |
