"Pop" of course is pop, any pop.

"Cool" is anything that is good.

"I live in Chicago" is pretty much anything within 100 miles of Chicago. And it's pronounced Chi-cago by many.

"Yea Man" explains itself.

"For real" can mean "Are you for real?" or "For real, that person was whack!"

And for the record because I've spoken both northern and southern. Southerners say "Ya'll come." Northerners say "You ALL come."

Please don't even get me started on the word "like" around here. Way overused word and makes me feel like I am back in the 80's and hearing Valley talk. lol
