Slang bang..

can LAH.??. Eh, don't be like dat lah : A common Singaporean slang where invariably they use the lah in every sentence they speak. Though there are many more Singlish Words like accuse me which means excuse me, no nid (no needs) where almost all the english words are axed abruptly.

I reckon to Cheers Mate ..Reckon and Cheers are the typical Aussie words , don't be surprised if an essay of 300 words consists of 100 reckons and ends with a Cheers Mate. Pretty infectious words as they seem to have carried across to the kiwis as well.

If you don't know something say Nigaa....igaa....nigaa.... atleast half the Mainlanders (people belong to mainland, though this is a common word used by the Cantonese (people from hongkong) i came across over the last couple of years use this word which really doesn't have any meaning. Not sure if this is a common across the ABC's (American Born Chinese) as well.

The Siamese (Thai) have wonderful cuisines but can never get hold of the most complicated full names that i came across. The simplest word i could get was Ma..means policeman so important with all that ruckus that Bangkok has been ever since the PM was ousted in a scandal.

Don't think i would ever want to comment on the aggressive mixed breed super power nation with the F*** word most commonly used.

Need i say more with the diversity we have in Indian slangs, though the best is illadaa...(whether you know or don't know this will be the first word to be used by my neighbors :) no wonder we used to call them illads
