New game 14 : English slang words.

Question

Hi SpanishDict members,

Lately I've realized a very important thing I will never be able to have an English conversation without learning the English slang words which has been bothering me for a long time.

So I thought it would be nice if I make a game from those English words .

Game rules:-

1 :-

Post an English slang word you use in your normal day.

2 :-

Translate it into normal English & don't forget to put the Spanish transaltion for it

Insults & swearing words are not allowed in this thread, try to keep it family friendly

.

Thanks
