Willy means: - Another word for penis. It is the word many young boys are taught as it is a nicer word than most of the alternatives.

Clutch means: Another knock off of the word "Cool" It can be used as a single word expression, or in conjunction. This word is especially usful when said slowly. "Cluuuuuutch!"
Ace Boon Coon means: A euphemistic way of saying my ni**a or my best friend. Note: because of the use of the word 'coon' this is a very explosive word just like the 'N' word. African Americans may use it among themselves, but it is rude (and grounds for a beat down in some circles)for someone of another ethnicity to use it. In other words, it's an 'off-limits' word. "Johnny and me been down since we was shorties. You know he my Ace Boon Coon."
frigging means: More than just a substitute for the word 'fucking', this word has been in use in it's own right for hundreds of years and really doesn't constitute 'slang'. It is just another English language word for the sexual act that has come to be considered 'vulgar'.
quite means: n kind of; sort of: What did you think of Jeans new boyfriend? / Hmm, yeah, I suppose he was quite nice. This is something of a tough one because Brits will also use quite, in the same way as Americans, to mean very. The only real way to determine exactly which type of quite is being used is to look at how expressive the word that follows it is. If its a word like perfect or delicious then its being used the positive way; if its a word like nice or pleasant then its negative.
dun means: A term that is used instead of the word "son." Like "son," this word is used as a term of endearment. (A style of language derived from Queensbridge, NY, in which a word's first letter is replaced with the letter "D." This form of language is mostly used with the word "son.") "Aye yo, Dun! What you been up to Dun?"
cootch means: Woman's genital area This word raises all sorts of interesting possibilities since the old Welsh word 'cwtch' (which has a similar pronunciation) is often used to mean a 'place of comfort'. It makes me wonder if the word was carried to the states by Welsh immigrants then mutated and adopted by peoples who would have no idea of its origins.
F-word means: For the word Fuck. use by some one that funds the word fuck to be offensive [I do not use the F-word].
queue means: n, v, pron. cue line. This doesnt really help the definition at all, as a line could be any number of things. A pencil line? A railway line? A line of Charlie? A line dancer? As a result of this potentially dangerous confusion, a word was developed by some British word-scientists to separate this particular line from all the others. A queue is a line of people. To queue is to be one of those queuing in the queue. The word means tail in French, and is used in the same context. Americans do in fact use the word, but only in the youre third in the queue type telephone call waiting systems.
chailey means: Mentally ambiguous. The word 'Chailey' was used to describe a person in exactly the same way as the word 'Joey' or 'Deacon'would have been. The word 'Chailey' was taken from the name of a Special Needs school called Chailey Heritage based about 10 miles from the school. http://www.chaileyheritage.e-sussex.sch.uk
chach means: (ed: have added this verbatim - I have no idea if it's serious or not, but since it's Californian - and weird - it could well be true! Personally I'm quite happy with saying 'orange orange'.) Chach describes the color of something that is orange. It's very confusing to have the color and fruit both have the same name, and sounds stupid to say, "Hey, look at that orange orange!" Also, a foreigner might get confused when they hear "Look at that orange book," and not see any fruit on the cover. In order to clear up the whole mess, this new word describing the color previously known as orange has been invented and spread about Northern California, and now everybody knows what it means and is grateful for the substitute word. It needs to be spread to the rest of the world, appeasing the minds of all others who speak the English language, and the word 'orange' no longer has any meaning when dealing with color. "Hey, look at that chach orange!" Doesn't that sound much better? something to be 'chach', We are grateful for the word 'chach', and this should be a big step in informing others and should soon become a common word everywhere, and the word currently used for the color, 'orange', will be erased from the world of adjectives forever!
Bugger means: originally used to refer to two men having intercourse and was the B word instead of the modern day F word. ‘Bugger’ is now often used as ‘bummer’ meaning ‘what a shame’, a few years ago a Toyota TV commercial drew some criticism from older people for repeating the word ‘bugger’ about 25 times in half a minute. Something that is broken can be ‘buggered’ and someone can tell you to ‘bugger off’ and a person who has bad luck can be described as ‘a poor bugger’.
