Japanese Streetslang (2020)

It's easy to create Japanese slang. Use a lot of "sound effect" words (I was walking down the alley and Bwa! the place blew up.), and onomatopoeia or mimesis; such as Baribari (sound of an engine; used when things are running smoothly") Ka-ching (sound of handcuffs, "be arrested") or Bokoboko (sound of hitting something hard, used when beating someone up).

Abbreviation is also a good way to make slang. Japanese tend to take one to three letters in a word, maybe combine it with a couple letters of another word, and use that; such as Sukebo (skateboard), pasokon (personal computer), and rimokom (remote control). Also, you can take the first letter of an English word, or the English spelling of a Japanese word, and use that, like H ('wanna H? Wanna fool around?).
