What are some slang terms in your area/country?
A couple here are
Cowboy up= Toughen Up
Stupid Greenies= I hate Coloradans (If you live around Colorado, you know what I'm talking about)
Damn Teckers= I hate those noisy, annoying Wyo Tech Students.
Just a couple from here in Wyoming. What slang/common phrase is used in your neck of the woods?

Die einäugige Boa wringen - to have a piss
einen heben; picheln - to drink something alcoholic
rammeln wie die Karnickel; ficken wie die Hasen - to have very intense sexual intercourse
kiffen - to smoke Marihuana
Gras - Marihuana
Which should be enough to get you through a night of clubbing. (NOT the seal kind, the one where you stay up late and get intoxicated!)
