Dawg: It's a pronunciation spelling of the word dog. If someone's "my dawg," he or she is my friend. If someone's a "dawg," he or she is promiscuous. I can also "dawg" something--If I'm hungry, I'll dawg my food, meaning that I'll eat a lot of it in a hurry. And in sports, you can "dawg" the other team. If you got beat 20 to nothing in a soccer game, you got dawged.

Aiight: That's just "all right." "How are you today?" "Aiight." It's a Southern American English pronounciation and isn't just limited to rappers or African Americans.

Dat: That. African Americans, Cajuns, Southerners, New Yorkers, and some others use it. The New Orleans Saints (an American football team in Cajun country) once had a slogan: Who dat say dey gone beat dem Saints? You see (or hear) 'dat' in Jamaican English, too.

Holla: This comes from "holler," which is a Southern and Appalachian American word used by both blacks and whites, and it means "to yell."

African American and Southern American English are closely related in vocabulary and pronunciation.

I dont think there is a MOST COMMON slang list because slang and jargon terms exist through every part of society in every part of the world. Its usually the cool kids who want to shut out the uncool kids who create the new terms, but on another level its also Lawyers who speak in legalese, that try to shut out everyone except their own bad selves....anyhoo.here are some slang terms from New Zealand ok?
Shielas = Females
Fush n Chups = Fish n chips
Pommy= English people
Ocker= Australian
Sheep= Australian playmate
Minge= A womans happy place
Peenywacker= A mans happy place
Strewth mate= Its the truth mate
Chuptu?= what are ya up to? What are you doing.
Hoon= Boy racer
Wicked= Good
Chur chur= Gidday
Satdee= Saturday
New Zillind= New Zealand

Be very, very, VERY careful if you use "nigg*r"; it is a extremely insulting term from the times of slavery for african americans; while it may be used as a "friend" word, it can still be taken VERY seriously.

Also - I'm american, and reading almost every word you've all posted is hillarious. Not to mention that no self-respecting adult would say any of them.
