I regard most slang as a sign of low intelligence.

we have a lot of words that are rarely heard of outside Liverpool,, eg.. ''Its proper owlarse that me trabs are tight and me kecks are antwacky..even bag 'eds in jiggers take da piss!'' means ''it is unfair that my sports shoes are tight and my trousers are so old fashioned that even heroin addicts standing in back alleys laugh at me!'' lol.

When we were in Vegas I was talking to a bloke who was driving us to our hotel (not a real taxi-driver) and we were in a Pontiac. I just asked him, "Does it get along alright?" but he didn't answer. I suppose he may have thought we needed to get a wriggle on...

Do you remember the scene in the movie Airplane where the old woman talks jive with the black men? Every other time I watched this movie I could not understand a word of it, but this last time I understood it all. What does this mean?

I remember in high school, some people -- I guess they were speaking the 80's version of jive (ebonics?) -- I could not understand anything they said. I'd just repeat "I'm sorry I don't understand," and they were unable to communicate in any standard form, to the frustration of us both.

I don't use a lot of slang, but I do tend to utilize terms I grew up with that are indigenous to Texas or the south, like "y'all" and "over yonder". I remember the first time a new friend from the east asked me if I had a "rubber" - I thought "WHAT?!" She was asking if I had an eraser.

the east? a specific state maybe? b/c here in PA and other east coast states, we call them erasers, too

Actually this gal was from Pittsburg. The year was 1962. First I'd ever heard the term for "eraser".

I use things like BOSS, epic, sick, wicked, cool, and dude.

But I do use the Trojan "slang" insult by calling people a "Sack of Wine" all the time.
