I AM IN AMERICA, AND WE HAVE SLANG TERMS FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. SUCH AS IF I CALL YOU A GOOBER IT MEANS YOU ARE ACTING SILLY. OR A DORK IS THE SAME THING. ANYBODY WANT TO ADD SOME SLANG FROM YOU AREA THAT OTHERS MIGHT NOT OF HEARD OFF? THIS COULD BE FUN.

A mess, in regards to a person... Means he is either goofy, loopy, crazy or generally funny.
Over the hill, in regards to driving... Over the mountain top. for us it is the Appalachain Range in Kentucky/Virginia/Tennessee, where the three meet.
I am sure there are others but my brain isn't quite working right now... too much poring over wiring diagrams for my car!
