Regional & Other

Regional slang from around the English-speaking world — British, Australian, Irish, Caribbean, Nigerian, Filipino, AAVE, and the hyphenated-English dialects that make the internet sound local.

Regional & Other is the catchall for slang from English-speaking and English-adjacent contexts that don't fit a dedicated category: Singaporean and Malaysian English (can lah, lor), Indian English (prepone, jugaad, chalo, yaar), Philippine English (kilig, sana all), Nigerian English (gist, wahala), South African slang (chommie, umlungu), and Philadelphia-isms like jawn. Many entries here are full lexical items in their local English varieties rather than slang in the narrow sense, but they read as slang to outside speakers. Signature exemplars: jawn, jugaad, kilig, wahala, can lah. The category leans diaspora-heavy on Twitter; platform varies by region.
