    "Hunky dory" that's from the thirties (or something) My grandma used to say it.
    Your answer was hunky dory, python.
    "pissa" .. a boston tern meaning awesome
    Hay Babe…(greeting to anyone and comment with inflections)
    Whatsittooya? (following a Bronx cheer…fart) also answer to any question or questioning remark.
    Chick (young girl)
    Woos (unfashionable dresser)
    Hip (I’m hip….I understand, with you, I’m high, drug intoxicated)( hippy.)
    'Crumpet'- attractive young woman, now replaced by 'totty' though that is probably also obsolete.

    THE F WORD IS NOT SLANG ITS JUST A DIRTY WORD, A NO CLASS WORD.
    ed shank

    I disagree with you on this one, the F word is intended to incite and has a place in the English vocabulary, The f word was used primarily to reference the sex act. It isn't anymore. Listen to the context in which people use it. If you find it offensive, my apologies.
