Lets talk some slang here. I am an indian with virtually no exposure to slang usage of english. The other day in a chat room a new found friendship resulted in the person saying 'get a grip' which I construed to mean 'friendly handshake'....was i right?
I suppose slangs vary from place to place. Please post all the diff slangs u know off and indicate the place of origin/usage.
