    I live in Singapore and the term used to describe the "slang" here is Singlish. English is the first language here, but it seems Singaporeans like to add lah, hor, meh or whatever crap-sounding words at the end of the sentence.

    Example:

    "You know ha, that boy very naughty leh."

    "Dunno meh? There's a sale going on there."

    "I want to eat lah, stop disturbing, please."

    This is something which make me cringe with embarrasment from the rest of the world. That, and our sense of kiasu-ism. Facepalm

    Is kiasu like manners, or empathy? Like emotional/social intelligence?

    There are heaps of Malaysian students at my uni and they all use 'lah'.

    Kiasu is something like our attitude. For example, rushing into the train before letting others alight first, just to get seats for themselves. Another thing is that, Singaporeans are greedy when it comes to free gifts. So usually when there's a freebie thing going on, you'll get to see a long queue at the designated place way before the shop's even opened. I'm not saying that everyone in Singapore does this, but I find majority of them do and it disgusts me.

    Most Malaysians are Malay in their ethnicity (I'm a Malay as well), and 'lah' is a word used in our mother tongue. So when we speak Malay, it's fine to have 'lah' inside as it's a part of our language.

    I live in Reno, NV. I say these things on a regular basis (as do my friends).

    Stoge - short for "stogie" which is another word for a cigarette.
    bum - usually means borrow or it's used whenever you're asking somebody for something (e.g. "hey, can I bum a stoge off you?")
    dumbass - meaning "very," or an excessive amount, like, "that dress was dumbass expensive."
    in a minute - meaning a long time, e.g. "hey, I haven't seen you in a minute!"
    hella days - same as above, only it makes a little more sense than "in a minute." XD pretty much means "a hell of a long time."
    ganja/bud - marijuana
    Norcal - Northern California
    Northsac - Northern Sacramento
    Cali - California, obviously.
    fool - pretty much the equivalent of "dude." like, "hey, fool, what's up?"
    dawg - same as above.

    "I haven't seen you in hella days, fool! Want to go up to Northsac with me and smoke some ganja? But I need to go to the store first and buy some stoges."

    Probably sounds insane to anyone else, but it's normal for me. XD

    I live in Juarez City, Mexico. These words are all in Spanish.

    Motombo: Big. Fat.
    "Ese wey esta bien motombo."

    Tumbado: Someone who is involved with the drug cartels.
    "El cabron este anda tumbado."

    No mames: Do not attempt to translate this one to English; it literally means "don't suck" but it's used to be the equivalent of "you gotta be kidding me"
    "No mames! Que te pasa?"

    Chavo(a): Chavo is for guy; chava is for girl.
    "El chavo este y aquella chava ya andan."

    Que barrio? - This is mostly used by gang members, but among friends we use it when we're joking. It's asking for what gang you belong to.
    "Que barrio puto?!"

    Jareoso: Used mainly when playing or watching football (what in U.S. is known as soccer). It's used when one guy takes control of the ball the whole time and won't pass it over to any of his/her team mates.
    "Pinche jareoso este. Ya sueltala culero!"

    Va a querer o que? - Used among friends to joke around. It means "Want some or what?" not in the sexual connotation, though; it was normally used by gang members when they were inciting a fight.
    "Va a querer o que?"
    "Pos arres!"

    Hacer de olas: arguing
    "Me la estas haciendo de olas? Arre, chavo."

    Se te va a caer el canton: Again, used to joke around; it was used by gang members, but we normally used it among friends. It literaly means "Your house is gonna fall down" but it is used as if saying "you're gonna go down".
    "Se te va a caer el canton!"
    "Ps salele!"

    Me vale verga: I don't care. Though verga means penis.
    "Ay, no mames. Ya estuvo, me vale verga."

    A la verga: Fuck it.
    "A la verga contigo!"

    Futbol: This is the Mexican adaptation to football. We refer to it as soccer. Football, the one known in the U.S. is known as Futbol Americano.

    There a lot more. Waaaaay more, but I'm too lazy to keep writing Weird a la verga lmfao

    I think I remember now. I've seen a Singapore McDonald's ad for the $1 menu. This guy gets into a taxi, but it's stopped at a red light. When the taxi driver asks him where he wants to go, he says, 'Ummmmm,' until the light goes green, to avoid paying the extra buck while the cab is idling.

    So, a kiasu is a thrifty person? Or a cheapskate?

    ’Up brew’ means uphill (I don’t even know).
    Mint and boss both mean great (‘that new shirt is mint!’).
    We call the people who we think are awesome ‘ledges’. It’s short for legends, and confuses a lot of people when you say that an old member of my class was a ‘ledge’, but it makes more sense than most of our slang.
    A lot of people say mard. If you’re a fan of the Arctic Monkeys, then you’ll know the song Mardy Bum. I don’t live in Sheffield, but we share that slang with them and it basically means that the person is moody and takes things too far.
    We also say pop instead of fizzy drink.

    I live in a suburb of Manchester in England, right next to a council estate famous for drugs and murders.
