What are the current slangs expressions of your language everyone use around you these days ?

What are the current slangs expression of your language everyone use around you these days ? I'm really curious to know the way language develops in everyday speech. People tends to create a lot of new expressions, that goes viral no one knows how. Can you teach me some of these expressions whatever your language is, and if it's explainable, can you teach me the meaning ? Obviously, English is a very flourishing tongue, I learn new expression almost every month, and local viral expression tends to be replaced by anglicism. I would like to know expressions in local tongue, it is fun to imagine the spirit of each part of the world this way.

I write you some french expression, I hope my expressions aren't already outdated :

Je suis trop hypé par ( ...) = I'm enthusiastic about ( ... )

Jsuis blaze = I'm disapointed. From blasé ( jaded )

Mon blaze = My signature. From Blason ? ( blazon )

c'est véner = It's uplifting/crazy. Verlan from énervé ( irritated )

Un poseur = a try hard ( someone who "strike a pose" 

ouki = Okay

OKLM ( au calme ) = an easy way

Grailler = to eat. from a former word, la graille ( = the food )

s'enjailler = to be too enthusiastic. From Enjoy, created in Ivory coast according to Wikipedia

C'est quoi le bail ?/ Un bon bail = means almost everything... occasion, thing, situation, program ... originally, a bail is a house rent's contract

I love this kind of thing -- thanks for some great words!

One of my favorite movies is a French comedy "le diner de cons" and one of the phrases they threw at one another was "e fini, oui"? or something like that.  It roughly translates into the English "You're done now, right", basically you are finished tormenting me, right?

I understood it even though my French is VERY limited.  Cracked me up every time I heard it in the movie :-)

Really, It would be fun to check the way french comedy is translated. It is difficult for me to say which is my favorite comedy. I love South park. Usually I'd rather watch series in original version, especially american comedy. However, the french translation of South park is so good it brings a new dimension. I'v learnt to enjoy both version as two distinguished things :)

Probably "as fini, oui?"

le diner is my favorite comedy in any language.  I think the word Cleaner above comes from the English translations of the Jean Reno role in le Femme Nikita.  That was a strong performance.

Haha you know the movie "Dîner de con" :) I think he may says "as fini?" to sounds childish or retarded
