How do you say trouble in slang?
Depends on the decade, depends on the year. Off the type of my weary head, I remember people older than I am talking about getting in dutch. My guess is that comes from the second [maybe even the first] world war and a transmogrification of the word Deutsch, but I am not 150% sure. I do know that that's a proper term for trouble, however.
People also mention getting into a fix. That means trouble, too. Now I'm gonna look through some slang sites to see if I can find something I don't remember. Hang on.
From the 50s I find cruisin for a bruisin [a phrase you, like i might remember from money by pink floyd]--so if you're looking for looking for trouble, well, you've found it.
On the other hand, that's pretty much what I find. I've looked through about seven period slang glossaries and, well, that's what they gave me. I gave you two they didn't even have! On the other, other hand: it's easy to find slang dictionaries online. Just type slang dictionary or slang glossary into Google and you may find more yourself. And, of course, if you want current you can dig into Urban Dictionary--I'm sure they've got more trouble, & synonyms for it, over there than anybody might ever want. Good luck.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite, often simply referred to as TCP/IP. Using TCP, applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over which they can exchange streams of data using Stream Sockets. The protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of data from sender to receiver. TCP also distinguishes data for multiple connections by concurrent applications (e.g., Web server and e-mail server) running on the same host. TCP supports many of the Internet's most popular application protocols and resulting applications, including the World Wide Web, e-mail, File Transfer Protocol and Secure Shell. Taken from WikiPedia
