Challenge
Teach us some slang words from wherever you're from.
This challenge is inspired by a series of Youtube videos by Vanity Fair called Slang School where different celebrities teach viewers different slang words from their homeland. So I wanted to see if anyone here had some slang words that they know or have used or have heard of from wherever you live or whatever place you grew up from. Trust me, there's an assortment of slang terms. Try to teach the readers at least 5 to 10 slang terms from your homeland or place that you grew up in and explain the meanings behind those slang terms.
