Yeah I know it's not technically a language but this place needs more topics plus at times it might as well be a different language.
So, tell us the different slang words that are used where you live and what they mean.

hella (adv) - used as a substitute for "very"
ie.
That's hella sick, dude.
That's probably the most distinctive piece of slang that we have, because as soon as you hear it coming out of someone's mouth at a rate of more than once every three sentences, you know they must be from the yay area.

Chav (UK) - People who wear burberry, sportswear, lots of jewellery and generally are a nuisance. Stereotypically violent, too. Hoodies and caps worn at the same time feature heavily, and they all hate goths and emos. I think that pretty much sums it up. Known elsewhere as (according to wikipedia): Millie (Ireland), Spide (Northern Ireland), Naco (Mexico), White Trash (US+Canada), Yobbo (Aussieland), Ars (Israel), Kogal (Japan)

That doesn't really describe the US and Canadian variety, where-in white trash is more a refference to people with loose legs.

White trash could be violent, but don't wear that sort of stuff.

Drew's slang pretty much fits my area's slang, with a few exceptions. And it's pronounced "Wiggah" Balla and Ballin' are interchangeable here. And I've never heard people say "Brosef" here. "cuz" can be used for "bro" as well, but it's not used as often. More slang from my area: Dude - I know most people use this, but I dunno if people use it equally for guys and girls everywhere else. No, in CA, we don't say "Dudette" to the chicas. Chill - cool. "hella chill" is one of my more favorite oxymorons. I forgot that hella can also be used for "a lot". ie Shit, cuz, you have hella bling. The more you emphasize hella (ie heeeeeeeeeella) the more of whatever noun it's modifying there is. hyphy - 1: dangerous and irrational: CRAZY; 2 : amusingly eccentric; without inhibition: GOOFY I copied hyphy from urban dictionary because I couldn't think of a definition myself.
