My bad
No. When you say that, you are bad. A bad person, who should just go home and finish that bag of Doritos in your room while wanking to BigAsses.com like you know you want to.

Letā€™s not go there

Old Canadian slang:

-I donā€™t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of = I donā€™t have much money.

  • Seein The Gov = Drinkin Whiskey

2-4 = case of beer

North American:

What you sayin? = Whatā€™s up

Whatā€™s good? = Whatā€™s up

Datā€™s sick = a good thing.

HA! This is a lame topic.
