    The word sketch brings me back to school and cigrattes flying everywhere the minute someone says sketch.

    These could be local to me but anyway -

    snazzy - thats a very snazzy (fantastic) outfit

    ya mala ya - mala - directly from a man named malcolm in my town who could eat an apple out of his pocket.

    the conch - tv controls (still use this tho)
