where did you get these? from a news report on american high school lingo.
half of those expressions are hip-hop lingo. like, "it's all good!". all
respect to my brothers(i am from ny), but they would never say "tops"-taken
from a motown song, meaning 'top of the line' and adapted by mods). try
"soopahcut", describing a person of opposite sex who is stylishly
attractive. say watcha like though. it's coo like that ya'll, it's all
good!

Here are some good ones to throw out here at the next soiree:
funa = fuckin gonna(?, i think) as in, "I funa get me some lovin tonite"
HK = who cares. kinda like "don't go there"
tight = really cool. as in, "those shoes are tight!"
and my current fave: it's all good!
