Japanese Slang - 08-01-2009, 07:19 PM

What are some Japanese slang terms? I always wondered since I know there have to be some slang words.

One that comes to mind is putting "cho" in front of adjectives. For example:

Cho-oishii....means like, super/very delicious. Commonly used by younger generation. I used it at the dinner table of my host family once, and the dad was like, "don't say that! it's not good!" lol

Another is kimoi. It conjugates the term "kimochi warui" which means literally "gives me a bad feeling" but translates to like, "disgusting"

I have already moved out some innappropriate posts, and since the threads always end up the same at the end, I am closing it now.
