US Slang Expressions

[KathyK]

Rather than saying something is good, my friends and I say, "That's 
happy."  

When something is not good we say it's "un-fun."

We also enjoy making up our own verbs, like "lefting" is to turn 
left.  "New Yorking" means we're going to the city for the day.

When something is all right or fine, it's "straight."

To be "down with" something means I'm in, I'll do it, I agree, or 
the like.

To chill is to relax and to hang (to spend time together)

I recently noticed my brother uses "word" in nearly every other 
sentence.  I don't know the origin of using "word" but he uses it to 
convey a number of responses including, "uh-huh," "I agree," and "Is 
that right?"

There are more hovering on the edge of my brain, but I'm too tired 
to force them at this point.
