Oddly, the first thing that came to my mind when I read your post was...


Beat It  --- meaning go away. Although, it could have other less
savory implications.

What's up? --- is one that confuses many foreigners. It means, 'What's
happening?', or 'is there any thing interesting occurring in your life
at the moment?'.

toasted, fried, baked, burnt, burned, burned out, crispy critter, and
many others --- means someting is severly worn or broken. 'My car is
toasted', 'This computer is completely burnt', etc... Comes from hippy
drug culture where burnt meant your brain was temporarily or
permanantly damaged by excessive drug use, as in, 'I's really burnt
after late nights party'.

Hoser --- actually Canadian. A general negative reference to a person.
"Hey you hosers, get back to work". Similar to calling someone a jerk.
Implies things like lazy, unreliable, and annoying. It's based on a
reference to men relieving themselves of excess bodily fluids after
drinking way too much beer.

Bubble Headed Mini --- this is one my sister made up. It implies that
in your upper crainial regions, you are are a bubble or air head.
However, in the lower gonadal regions, you are woefully inadequate.

Pizza face --- someone with too many zits (acne)

Those are all the civil ones that I can think of at the moment.
