Huge dude. Simply brilliant!!! Wish you could see the smile on my face.
Now I looks for somting like dis, dats sans da lingo.
Although many non-slang terms are defined in this glossary it is a bit to
'underground' for my for the purpose. Get my drift? Many of those terms will
never be used mainstream, at least not in speaking to ordinary users.
However, it could make a good starting point if I don't find another
resource.
Wow!! Who on earth thought of this term "Yu-Shiang Whole Fish"

Shoo, mental, but brilliant.
