I'm a big fan of slang. I'm the sort that buys slang dictionaries to study the historical movements of language.
So what are your favorite real (c'mon folks) slang terms and phrases? They are regional in nature, and often we don't hear stuff said in other parts of the country.
Example: in the Northwest, a twelve-pack is commonly referred to as a 'half-rack.' Oddly enough, no one calls a full case a 'rack.' But tits are called a 'rack' universally in the USA.
In New Mexico, there is the phrase, 'I see how you are,' which is heard when you don't do something that someone thinks you should--usually said after a request (that you denied) that demanded you do something 'cool' (but not smart) for them, like lend them your car to make a drug run. It is an appeal to your need for acceptance, made from their position of weakness or need.
So put your real regional slang here.

In Philadelphia when someone is addressing two or more people they say "yas".
Ex: Are yas goin' out tanoight?
It's like in New York when they say "hey yous guys"
But with a different accent.
More of a "lower class" thing I suppose.
Most of the strange language in my area is just with a weird accent.
"Yas want wooder wit dat?"
Should be: "Do you guys want water with that?"

A lot of times when we refer to African Americans we call then Negroes. I've also seen people referred to as Asian, which is offensive. They are Oriental.

It was always pretty common for me and everyone else when I was growing up to call someone a titty baby/titty/tit if they were being a wimp or a tattle tale or anything else associated with being weak.
I remember the first time I shocked the hell out of someone by saying it, like it was something incredibly dirty and crass. I was like, "What? Little children say it."

You remember the days before corn syrup? How old are you?? Karo syrup is forever in my mind something used for constipation in babies according to my hundred year old (at the time) granddad.
Re: New Slang...or old slang

Corn syrup as a sweetener came into prominence after it's invention/conversion in 1957. "How can you make sugar out of corn?" By 1977, the die was cast.
According to a poorly researched online article,
"High fructose corn syrup took a big jump in general acceptance in 1984 when soft drink makers began using it in Coca-Cola and Pepsi, while foreign formulations still used sugar. Production grew from about 3 million short tons in 1980 to about 8 million short tons in 1995."
Whatever that means, I'm certain that I should have said HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP in my earlier post, since that's what I was referring to. Karo corn syrup has been in my family's pantry since I was a child. We just never bothered to use it on all the food we ate, the drinks we drank, and the breads we baked.
Bad on us!

In others it means something else entirely, though something that can also be gauged through tightness

Cool thread. I heard an old man talking about making strong drinks. He mentioned one in particular and said, "Hoo boy, that drink will fix your little red wagon."
So, "fix your wagon" means fuck you up. Next time someone steps to you and wants to fight you can say, "Dude back off or I'm going to fix your little red wagon."
Or not.

I'm not sure what is or isn't regional. One of the first things that came to my mind was that some of us here call the 20+ ounce cans of beer "deuces," which is not to be confused with dropping a deuce. I've heard different names for them in different regions I think.

My dad used to say fix your wagon...."You get in here for supper or I'll fix your wagon."
Here's a phrase that I use once and a while and I notice that younger folks don't know what I'm talking about: a mash note, as in "I wrote her a mash note, but she still paid no attention to me." It falls a little short of sexting, but means a rather gushing love note.
