Again, asking this question is like asking what the slang terms are now. You will get a whole mess of answers, none of which will be wrong, all of which will be incomplete. There's just too much slang, there are too many words, for this to be answered in a note. Here, though, are a few terms, words, phrases, what have you:

apple sauce: flattery, nonsense, i.e.. "Aw, applesauce!"

bearcat: a hot-blooded or fiery girl

big cheese: important person

darb: a great person or thing, i.e. "That movie was darb."

floorflusher: an insatiable dancer

and of course there is a ton and a half more. my secret? here you go: http://home.earthlink.net/~dlarkins/slang-pg.htm

[my other secret? this is a better slang site than many if not most. really good.]
