Here in DC, they say "carry." Now, when I first moved here, I thought I had the meaning, I really did. I thought it meant you were making somebody look stupid or something in front of a group. You know, public humiliation. Now, I'm so confused. Every time I get sarcastic with a student (I'm sarcastic by nature), I'm carryin' them (Ms. Ideal08, why you got to curry me). Well, tonight, one of my girls asked if they could do something, I don't even remember what it was. I told her no. She asked about three more times, but in different ways. So in a way that is classically my own, I stare at her for a few seconds, then I say, "No." The response? "Ms. Ideal08, why you got to curry me?" Now, how did I carry her? No one was around, just me and her. And all I said was "no." I don't get it.
Anyway, other slang that I'd never heard 'til I got here: lunchin'. Can I use it in a sentence? Yup. These people at my job be lunchin'. You know, trippin'.
Also, jonin' (with a long 'o' sound). Synonymous with crackin', you know, the dozens. Tellin' jokes.
So, what's the slang where you live? And I did a search already, too.

LOL, girl you curried her cuz youdidn't let her do what she wanted to do. You can get curried with or without an audience.
Also for DC/MD/VA...
urrrrea-mainly used by people in PG (Prince George's County, THE largest, most wealth Black county in the country **Shameless plug**) to describe a particular area, or the Metro area in general
Cuz, Joe, Slim, Young, Youngin- along the lines of "dawg"
That's all I can think of right now.
