    I'm a 40 year old American. I tallied my guesses playing along and I believe I got 12 right, 2 I had never heard, and 3 that I had heard before meant something else where I grew up.
    "An Ankle Bitter" is an angry little aggressive dog. Like a Chihuahua.
    "Straight Fire" means something is awesome. And some people will also say something is "hot", to be fair.
    And "Lemon"... I think Daz was right. Usually I always heard it used to describe a bad car someone purchased. "I bought a lemon". I can't really recall anyone using it to describe a person, or their personality. That seems like an insult from the 1920's.

    ‘Cap’ originally is from Atlanta (my hometown). We originally used it as a term to mean ‘flaunting’ in the early 2010’s but by the late 2010’s up until now it has transformed to indeed mean lying.
    So when you hear terms like:
    “Cap”
    “No Cap”
    “He/She/They are cappin’”
    Etc. It means the story does check out. Very popular here in the states 😂.

      @@zgdafzgdaf4264 Actually it refers to so-called "grillz". By which I mean the superfluous braces that the hip-hop community in the South made a cultural thing out of. I'll try to be short with the explanation here. There are two different kinds of grillz: There is the type that are actually installed like braces and are somewhat permanent, meaning someone who has them can't just remove them before they go to bed e.g. But there are also grillz that people can use just for show. They can be put in and/or removed at a moment's notice because they aren't actually attached to anything. Overall the point being that people who have the second type(the easily installed/removed kind) are just posers being fakes.

    Daz should have received a point for lemon. A lemon is anything you buy that is "faulty" and doesn't work properly. It is commonly used when someone buys a used vehicle that ends up having more problems than it's worth. The term has been around since I was a kid in the 70's. You hear it often where I come from on the west coast.

      Some are generational also. The same phrase can mean two different things to two different generations. Like "I'm dead" or "lemon" have multiple meanings depending on whom you ask. For example Saying someone "is dead" at a party when I was in high school meant that they had passed out drunk and should be checked on regularly. Then also "I'm Dead" means dying of laughter. Yet it also means "very fucking tired" if said in blue collar factory setting.

    In New Jersey we say "Dont make me go off on you" meaning go crazy or mad.
    "He went off on that poor kid."
    Means tht he snaped.
    "Go off" could be either verbal,
    Like an arguement/shouting or physical like fighting.
    And "Swole" means something different here in New Jersey.
    It means salty.
    Like you're salty.
    And Salty is another slang that means mad of jealousy.
    An example of "swoll" or "swole"
    Is if some dude stole your girlfriend or he dated a girl you like and you get pissed, or look piss,
    U might hear your friends in the background screaming
    "SWOOOOOOOOOOOOLE!!
    YOU'RE fcking SWOLE"
    or if you get mad loosing at a game or video game and ur face looks pissed,
    "SWOOOOOOOOOOOOLE! You're mad swole, Brah"
    It come from the word "swollen" like an injury. Like it's saying you're emotionaly injured, and puffed up from being mad or jealous

    Re: "Pass the Buck". U.S. President Harry S. Truman had a sign on his desk that said, "The Buck Stops Here", meaning he had ultimate responsibility and couldn't/wouldn't/didn't 'pass the buck' to anyone else.
    "Off the chain" is the same as "Off the hook". Very good/impressive.
    A "lemon" car isn't just faulty or defective -- it has multiple recurring failures and, despite being in the shop frequently, it always has a problem. It's almost as if it's cursed from the factory.
    "Fauci" rhymes with "ouchie", hence "Fauci ouchie". ;)

    Many of these are more recent/Gen-Z slang. I'm pretty sure "Diamond Hands" has been popular for less than two years, and "I'm dead" and "straight fire" aren't _too_ much older.

      p.s. They both should've gotten a point for lemon too. That one's an older slang term compared to a lot of these, but it can mean a faulty device, especially a car that doesn't work well. And yes, the last name "Fauci," of Italian origin, is pronounced in a way that rhymes with "ouchie."

    To me an ankle bitter means something (usually a movie) that is more suspenseful than a knuckle biter..
    That movie was a real anklebiter...
    (I've never seen a small child go around trying to eat ankles... unless it was a zombie in a movie!! Lol)..
    Also the part of the U.S. that I'm from, I've never heard of 90 percent of these slangs.. and the ones that i have heard of do not mean what they said here..
    Like "off the CHAIN"??
    But to be fair we have a weird slang that is close to that..
    We would say, "off the HOOK"...
    Why we say this... no clue..
    Lol..
    Lemon (other than the fruit) means to me, something you bought usually some machine that is defective and bad and gives you all kinds of problems from the moment you buy it.
    I'm dead to me means..
    I'm in deep trouble..
    If a friend of mine ran up to me and said..
    Oh god... I'm dead..
    I would be like, crap.. what happened???!!!!!
    When i was a kid i used to hear that phrase all the time and it usually meant that kid was going to be in serious trouble with his parents..
    It would go something like this,
    Kid 1; crap!!! I'm dead!!!
    Kid 2; why???!!!! What happened???
    Kid 1; i just dented my mom's car with the baseball bat!!!
    And then you would hear a chorus from all the kids saying, oh crap!!!!!!
    Followed by...
    RUN!!!!
    Now I've lived in ny most my life i was born and raised in queens ny..
    And I've never heard of these slangs..
    Big mad.
    Dimond hands.
    Straight fire????
    Stop the cap..
    Pass the book.
    Off the chain.. (we would say off the hook.)
    Now...
    The phrases,
    finsta, swole and fauci ouchie????????!!!
    Never ever heard that ever in my life!!
    I don't think those are even in English!!!!
