Get the CCEBs mug.Cellphone.
Means teddy bear in Swedish. The word refers to a cellphone because of the way some people cuddle and cradle the device next to their faces--like a little kid with a favorite stuffed animal.
Term originated in Sweden, but is taking on a life of its own in the English-speaking world.

Get the nalle mug.Shy, gentle creatures, about which little is known. Natives of Australia, they are purported to "drop" down on the heads of unsuspecting passers-by. An unfortunate misconception, and one that has led to their poaching and near-extinction.
Possibly related to the chupacabra, an equally misunderstood creature of the southern United States.

Get the drop bears mug.Often used to mean "don't have any," it literally means the opposite.
ain't was originally a contraction of "am not" or "are not," and should only be used in the first person. However, as it has still not been accepted into "proper" English like its counterparts won't and can't, few people see any problem with further "misuse" of the word.
"I ain't got no money" literally means "I am not got no money," which makes no sense at all, but is nonetheless understood to mean "I have no money."
It is an example of a double negative, where the contraction "n't" and the following "not" should cancel each other out. However, very few people realize (or care) about this, and the phrase remains in common use.
