I haven't yet seen a map of the United States which is printed so that, when you're looking at it with the words facing the right way, the west coast of the US is not on the left.

Well, mostly like 'cool', but with more 'h' in it. "Khool!"

You never said okey-dokey? That's one of my favorites! and it's variations: okey-dorky, dokey-okey, and the ever popular oh-tay.

You know, the twin dots (..) that are placed over vowels to change their sound. Seen alot in Germanic languages.

a character from the aforementioned 'Little Rascals', actually. Old black and white movies. (Or was it TV?) Buckwheat was a little black kid with crazy hair and garbled speech. Never actually watched any of them, but Eddie Murphy used to do Buckwheat as a recurring character on Saturday Night Live, with Nora Dunn (I think) playing Alfalfa.

I believe so. Maybe someone should come up with a chart that gives equivilant slang meanings...
