I think we all should be wary of using slang words and expressions on a board like this which not only has a geographically widespread membership of people in many different countries and cultures, some living in cities and others in country areas, and also a wide range of age groups from teenagers to people who remember life in the 1950s, and some of whom have English as a second or perhaps even third language.
It is difficult enough to manage to express oneself clearly and unambiguously when using standard words and expressions, but adding urban slang which has several different interpretations is fraught with danger.
