Oh, yeah. My kids use "beast" as well for something that is good. "Garb" is a new one to me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Example: Eminem is TOTAL beast mode, but Green Day is garb.*
What? Emmett is totally garb.

I should add that I have never heard them say raw, beast, or garb, and I suspect they'd make fun of anyone who did. Maybe it's an LA thing?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think cool has moved out of slang and is just a part of casual speech now.

Coffee:
OMG people, I need to be productive today and am SO uninspired. I think maybe I should start a pot of coffee.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't heard these either. Tight, yes. And other things I can't think of at the moment.
Grammar fans should enjoy the training experience I had Friday. I had a training session with one of my doctors for writing notes. I had already noticed that his notes were much more coherent than many of his colleagues when he picked out a single 'were' and declared that he had to change it to 'are' to match the tense of the rest of the note. I commented that his notes were grammatically superior to many I had seen and he took pride in telling me of starting out in an English major before medical school. I then mentioned that he was clearly a fan of the serial comma when he got excited and said it was essential for clarity. A most unusual conversation with a physician for me. They are usually casual to the extreme with the grammar.
