American slang, as written by the BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A128143

It is in a table format at the site, so it should be easier to navigate there. For those of you too lazy to click the link, here is the American Slang Dictionary for Brits:

Quote:
A
Ain't Similar to "aren't" but can also be used instead of "isn't", "am not", "will not" or just about any form, tense, or conjunction of "is not". Note: the popularity of this word has been so great that it's been added to some of the new dictionaries.
B
Back burner, Put on the ... Deal with it later.
Besá (Southern US) Said when parting with a good friend or lover, often replaces "Okay I luv you, bye-bye" but in such a way that two males can say that the other means something to them without sounding like they are saying something sexual.
Blow chunks Vomit
Boondocks A location far away from any major town (also "boonies")
Booshk (Southern US) Exclamation when one hits, taps, slaps, bangs or performs some sudden and/or violent action to another. Also used in phrases such as "Booshk ya later man", "How ya booshking?", "Booshkn' spectacular!" or "I've had a Booshk of a day"; though there is no consistency with these other uses of the word.
Britches Pants (trousers in the UK)
Bubba (Southern US) Officially means "Brother" as in a male sibling, but is often extended to mean the oldest son of a family; such a kid is then stuck with the nickname of "Bubba" until they move out of the area.
C
Chicano (San Diego) US-born Mexican
Chico (San Diego) Kid, usually male
Chill To maintain your cool, often used as an imperative: "Chill, dude!"
Chill out See "chill"
Coke People from the deep South generally use this term to describe any carbonated beverage. It sounds rather silly in conversation: "You want a coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Root beer."
Cool A good thing, as in "Cool web site, man!"
Crillo (San Diego) Spaniard, sometimes used for mainland Europeans in general ("ll" pronounced "y")
D
Da bomb! An expression of good stuff, as in "That gig last night was da bomb, dude!"
Dork A person without social graces (see "dweeb", "nerd", "geek").
Dude Cool person
Drop the ball To mess something up.
Dweeb A person without social graces (see "dork", "geek", "nerd").
E
Eraser Something used to remove pencil marks from paper
F
*** Homosexual male (certainly not a cigarette)
Fanny One's bottom
Fubared (Southern US) Really messed up, often used when talking about computers or a car that was wrecked (short form of "F***ed up beyond recognition").
G
Geek A person without social graces (see "dork", "dweeb", "nerd").
Geetyet "Have you eaten?"
Get lucky To have sex
Get laid To have sex
Get some To have sex
Grinder (New England) Large sandwich
Grondspindling Hassle (Southern US) A person that gets in your way, and on your nerves, so bad that you'd actually contemplate killing them.
Grub (Inner city) Food
Grubbin' (Inner city) Eating
H
Handle Deal (verb), as in "Get a handle on it."
Hick A back-woods kind of person with an extreme country accent and an assumed small vocabulary (see "redneck").
Hoagie Large sandwich
Homely An unattractive woman (to the point of exceptional plainness)
Homie (Inner city) Friend (short for "homeboy" or "homegirl"
Honk Vomit
Hot A good and happening thing, as in "That chick is hot!"
Hunker down To start working hard on something
Hurl Vomit
L
Lame Pathetic, as in "That's a lame deal" or "Lame excuse!"
Later Short for "See you later"
Loco (San Diego) Crazy
Lucked out Used to "out of luck" in the 1940s, now means the opposite
M
Mad Very, as in "He's mad cute" and "That was mad fun"
Making groceries (New Orleans) To go shopping for food
Mestizo/Mexicano (San Diego) Mexican-born
N
Nerd A person without social graces (see "dork", "dweeb", "geek").
Niño (San Diego) Small child ("ñ" pronounced "nyeh")
Nop-djew (Southern US) "No I haven't, have you?", sometimes "djew" is used on its own, such as "Djew do this?" and is modified when talking to more than one person such as "Dja'll do that?"
P
Pants Trousers (in the UK)
Pass by ya mamma's (New Orleans)
Phat Pretty, Fine and Tasty (applied to women)
Pimp (Inner city) No longer refers to prostitution, but is used much like player - "He's a pimp" could mean he knows how to romance a girl, and the term pimp can also be used for women. It is also a verb - "Getting your pimp on" to mean getting ready to meet someone, and "pimpin' it" to mean you are in the process of attracting someone.
Player (Inner city) A man/woman who has many romantic interests; can be used as a derogatory term as in "Don't go out with him, he's a player", or something to be proud of as in "That's not the girl he was with yesterday, he's such a player".
Pond The Atlantic Ocean
Pop Any carbonated beverage, generally used by people from the old north-west states (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan etc.)
R
Ralph Vomit
Reckon "Yes, I think so too" or "I guess I agree", such as "Yep, I reckon" following some statement or question that started with "You figure...?"
Redneck A back-woods kind of person with an extreme country accent and an assumed small vocabulary (see "hick").
Root To support a team, as in "I'm rooting for the blue team"
Rubber Condom
S
Score To have sex
Shafted To have something bad happen, as in "I got shafted."
Soda Any carbonated beverage, generally used by people from the western states
Solid Good, as in "How was that band last night man?" "Solid!" "Oh yeah?" "Like a rock, baby."
Speed suggestions (New Orleans) Speed limit
Spew Vomit
Statue (Southern US) Replaces "Is that you?" when answering a phone. For example:
Receiver: "Jello?"
Caller: "George?"
Receiver: "Statue Billy Bob Joe?"
Caller: "Ya 'tis, statue?"
The Sticks A location far away from any major town (see "boondocks")
Sub Large sandwich (submarine)
T

Tool Penis
Touch base To meet up again later
W

Yos (Southern US) "Is this yours?" or "This is yours" (plural)
