KON! Just wanna post and share some stuffs i know xd [Sorry for the Bad words or Bad phrases there below.. ]
Some Japanese Slang Words:
Abayo = あばよ = Informal term for "good bye", this is not considered a polite way to say goodbye.
Abune = あぶね = Slang, this is an exclamation take from "abunai".
Achi Itte = あち いって = Impolite phrase meaning "go over there!" which of course means that you should "go away!". xd
Achi Kaere= あち かえれ = Impolite phrase meaning "go back over there, far away". This is a very direct way of saying "go away!". twisted
Aitsu = あいつ = Impolite term meaning "that thing over there" or "that dude over there".
Ano = あの = Informal word which can mean "that thing over there", but the slang meaning is more commonly "Uhhh..." or "Well..." and is used a lot in colloquial speech at the start of a sentence or between sentences just like we use "Uhhh.." to slow down the conversation so we can think.
Are! = あれ! = used for exclamation such as : "Oh my !" "WTF?" etc.
Betsuni = べつに = Informal phrase meaning "nothing" or "nothing really". Normally used in response to a question.
Becha Becha = べちゃ べちゃ = Slang used to describe a "chatterbox" or a really noisey converation

Chau Chau = ちゃう ちゃう = Informal way of saying "chigaimasu" which means "wrong" or "it's something different (from what you think)". This phrase comes from the Osaka dialect. Can be said once or twice depending on the tone or emphasis.
Chotto ii? = ちょっと いい? = This is how you ask, "Can I ask you something quick?" this is a friendly way, and is best used with people you know already.
Dame = だめ = Informal term with many meanings. I can mean "no" or "it's bad" or "it's not possible" or "you can't do that" etc. etc. It is word that signals a "no" answer.
Dattara = だったら = Informal phrase which means "if that is so..." and can be used as in "so?"

Hamatta = はまった = Expresses that something was funny.

Hora = ほら = Informal term which kinda means "hey!" or "see?!" when you want to get somebody's attention.
Ii Kamo Shirenai = いい かも しれない = Colloquial phrase that is used to say that something is nice, good, or cool. "Ii kamo" is used by itself alot to simply say something is cool. "Shirenai" is literally translated as "I dunno..." so it follows the polite way of expressing your thoughts by ending the phrase with an expression of doubt.
Ikemen = いけめん = Translates into something like "very handsome man" or "hot guy"
Iku Ze! = いく ぜ! = Informal phrase meaning "let's go!"

KON ~ = コン ~ = This is the friendly and cool way to say "Konnichi ha " in a chatroom.
Koncha = こんちゃ = Short for Konnichiwa and is very colloquial.

Meccha Kuccha = めっちゃ くっちゃ = means "very" as in "pretty f**king good!"
Nanchatte = なんちゃって = Slang term that is popular with young people, it is used in the same way that "...just kidding!" is. It basically lets you know that somebody is just fooling around jokingly, or being ironic about what they are talking about.

Nanka Sa = なんか さ = slangy term, can be used loosely as in "....oh yeah...by the way.."
Nante Koto! = なんて こと! = Interjection which loosely translates to "Oh my gosh!" and more literally means "what an experience!"
Oha! = おは! = Exclamatory phrase for "good morning". Very short for "ohayo gozaimasu"
Pin Pon! = ピン ポン = Onomatopoeia which means "ding!" as in "ding! you're right!"
Ryokai! = りょかい = Informal term meaning "roger!" as used in military radio communications.
Sa'nara = さ'なら = Colloquial term that is short for "sayonara".

Ah thanks for posting that. I knew several of those already but there are several more that I recognized but hadn't known the meaning. I hear a lot of that sort of talk from the anime I watch but it helps to see it written out. Not to mention the fact that knowing which phrases are on the more crude side is always a good thing.
And thanks for putting the romaji in, so I could read it at work where I can't install Japanese. ^_^

Don't forget such words as:
"Meccha （めっちゃ）" is from Hokkiado the Kansai region and means "very or super" it is used much in the same way that "Cho （超）" is used in Kanto-Ben (slang from the east cost of Japan, i.e. Tokyo).
"Shine! （死ね！）" More or less "Die!" in English.
”Kaere! (帰れ！）” "Get lost!" or "Go home!"
Notes on making your own rough/slangy forms:
Shine and Kaere both use the imperative form. This is used to make the verb more of a command (or in the above cases, almost like a threat). To turn a verb into this form you must:
First take the verb in question's dictionary form.
Change the ending of the verb to the ~e line
Example: yomu(読む） (to read) becomes Yome（読め))
Now it has slightly more of a rough tone to it. This is direct contrast to the polite way of asking someone to do something which uses ~te form of the verb + kudasai. Use this form only when you're around with your friends or people that know you really well and in situations that call for it.
Another form related to this is the prohibitive form. It is used to tell people what NOT to do.
To make it, you:
Take the dictionary form of the verb.
Add na to the end of it (no, this does NOT turn the verb into a na adjective)
Example: (Used above in listed slang) Sawaru (触る） (to touch, feel) becomes Sawaruna( 触るな) "Don't touch!"
This form is used a lot in J-dramas, songs, and conversational Japanese. Remember to use it only around people that you know well or friends.

I believe that "meccha" is from the kansai region, not hokkaido.

It's not yet done so I'll still be posting some words. xd

What I'd like to hear more about is KY語. I've been fascinated by it ever since I heard of it, and I would most enjoy learning more about how it is used in modern Japanese society

Thanks for the list. I have seen most of these in anime, and had no clue that some of them were slang/informal/rude. O.o That might have turned out badly at some point down the road...

Koiyuki What I'd like to hear more about is KY語. I've been fascinated by it ever since I heard of it, and I would most enjoy learning more about how it is used in modern Japanese society For those that understand Japanese and/or have some type of program/addon to read Japanese (i.e. peraperakun/rikaichan), here's the Wiki on KY語. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/KY語In essence, they are abbreviations of words commonly used when texting, however, more or less the more popular ones (such as KY) have made their way into print and conversation. Some examples the Wiki uses: JK - 女子高生 (Joshi Kousei) "Female Highschool student" kwsk - 詳しく (Kuwashiku) "Details; particulars" mjk - マジか (Majika) "Really?" AM - 後でまたね (Atodematane) "See you later" HK - 話変わるけど (HanashiKawarukedo) "Changing the subject...." Some more lists (prod me enough, and I might translate some....): Small list of KY語Another list (Click on a hiragana letter, than a word and it will give you the example of what it means, along with the appropriate KY語） Examples of it being used: A hard to understand 12 volume of Death Note in Japanese
