A reference to the ultra-violent 1991 Hong Kong prison film known for its over-the-top gore and dismemberment scenes. To "go Story of Ricky" on someone means threatening extreme physical violence, usually in jest. The film has achieved cult status for being so ridiculously bloody it loops back to comedy.
An exclamation expressing surprise, shock, or sudden realization, serving both positive and negative contexts. It's 'damn' wearing a party hat, ready to react to whatever life throws at you.
New York City slang adaptation of the Spanish word "estilo" meaning style, particularly referring to one's unique approach or swagger.

An abbreviated form of the archaic "forsooth," used ironically by people who want to sound medieval or whimsically old-timey. It's essentially "truth" or "for real" but dressed in Renaissance faire cosplay.
An exclamation of genuine enthusiasm popularized by the 2000 stoner comedy "Dude, Where's My Car?" that somehow escaped the movie and infected real-world vocabularies.

An early 2000s exclamation expressing shock, amusement, or schadenfreude at someone else's misfortune or a sick burn. The verbal equivalent of the finger-snap emoji before emojis existed. Often elongated to "Oh, snap!" for maximum dramatic effect when witnessing someone getting roasted.
The past tense of 'shit' that somehow sounds both more refined and more visceral than the original. It's grammatically correct, widely accepted, and oddly satisfying to say in polite company when discussing unfortunate digestive events.

A delightfully dismissive Yiddish-flavored adjective meaning mediocre, subpar, or generally not up to snuff. It's the perfect word for when something isn't terrible enough to rage about but definitely isn't good enough to let slide.
Another entry in the -izz- suffix hall of fame, meaning something of exceptional quality or awesomeness. It's "the shit" run through the Snoop Dogg slang filter. Extra points for creativity in avoiding actual profanity while still sounding vaguely inappropriate.
