Well here are a couple of words/phrases that I don't think I've seen listed.
"Cool beans"- This word actually originated in like the 70s, but I have a lot of friends who still say it. It pretty much means cool, it just has 'beans' attached. Also, you can attach 'beans' to pretty much any word meaning cool. Or really anything I guess. For example, "You won the tennis tournament! Cool beans man!"
"Beast" - This is one of my favorites, because an old friend of mine used to say this a ton. It means cool, so it would be like: "Dude, that volleyball serve was beast!"
"Boss" - Same as beast.
"Beaner" - This is a slang term for a Mexican. Not meaning to be offensive to anyone, it's just a fact that this is commonly used slang.
"Wasted" - Drunk or high.
"Totally" - Mainly teenage girls, but I have known some guys who use this word a lot.
"Hardcore" - Intense. Way too awesome to just use a word like awesome.
"Chick/Gal" - Slang for girl.
"Smooth/Smooth Groove" - You handled a situation pretty well, usually used about a guy who got a date with a girl or something. In my experience, it is more often used sarcastically. "Woah, that chick was diggin you man, smooth groove."
There is a lot more slang that I could get into, mainly southern, but I just gave you general stuff. Like everyone else has said, it really depends on where your characters are from. Hope I helped!
P.S. - Here is a helpful link! Some of the words listed are words that I myself have never heard before and seem ridiculous, but most of them are common slang.
