Teaching slang from your hood

Let's teach each other regional slang that not many outside of our general areas would understand

Some I've got from Philly:

young bull/ball/buol - a young man; a friend; that guy
"Yo what's happening young bull?"

salty - embarrassed; egg on your face
"Ohhhh don't you feel salty"

jawn - literally anything you feel like
"Did you see that jawn?" "Yo that jawn was hot." "I'ma get you that jawn later."

poppin - how awesome an event was/will be
"Billy's graduation party was poppin."

yous - the plural of "you"; y'all
"Are yous guys gonna be there tonight?"

Try to use them in sentences today!

    my dad basically passed on to me the phrase "heavens to murgatroyd", which is sort of a sarcastic expression of surprise

    the internet tells me it originates with Yogi Bear

    when I was a kid we didn't have cable and I never saw any Yogi Bear reruns

    we had one videotape with a couple of Yogi Bear episodes on it but that's really it in terms of my exposure to classic Hanna-Barbara animation

    i guess we can also do pronunciations

    crayon - "crown"
    water - "wooder"
    "No, did you?" - "No, jew?"
    nothing - "nuttin"
    taken - "tooken"

    i don't say wooder but i use all the other ones

    I'm not really sure of any slang here that wouldn't be said anywhere else. The only thing I can think of is limited to Canada, eh? Yup, I say that all the time, eh? Better than saying 'huh'.

    I've also started using 'rowdy' a bit, a few others say that but I'm not sure if that's slang or just a mannerism I've adopted. It's used like "We're getting rowdy tonight!" or something like that. It's kind of retarded.
