US Slang

[Potterfanme]

Ok, having grown up in Chicago and now live in North Carolina I can 
tell you slang changes drastically in the US!

Turn on lights or Turn off lights----cut off lights, cut on lights

Push the button----mash the button

Pop----soda

Drink (meaning alcoholic beverage)---drink (meaning soft drink)

Tea (hot or cold unsweetened)----tea  (very sweet iced tea)

Everyone-----ya'll or you-ens

Ill (meaning sick)-----ill (meaning angry)

Tell someone off-------show your ass

Semi truck------Transfer truck

Driveway------Path or pig path

And Tracy, my favorite when I was a Paramedic was Lizard (very old 
person)

Beater = really old ragged vehicle

Getting the ax or getting a pink slip = being fired 

Boob tube = Television

Thug = bad guy, criminal

And so many many more!!
