it's amazing how the English language and the slang that is developed from it can be so different! Even here in the US, there are different meanings to some words and phrases. To understand them you have to know what the meanings are in that area. Many times phrases or words which are harmless and have obvious meanings (like what is found in the dictionary) are given a totally different meaning--usually by teenagers. I think it's a conspiracy to keep parents "in the dark" so they don't understand what is being said. Oh well, I guess my generation did the same thing to our parents.
