We'd

This conjunction of two words ("we would" or "we should") is also a homonym of weed, the common slang term for cannabis. Therefore, "We'd!" is an expression of agreement used by pot lovers to anyone suggesting cannabis use.

Herb Stoner: "Any of you eighth graders here want to join me behind the gym to smoke a number?
Stoner Bud 1: "Yes, we'd!"
Stoner Bud 2: "We'd indeed!"
Herb Stoner: "Great, first pay me 20 bucks. And come with some girls, or don't come at all."

fade

A term used in craps to describe a bettor who covers "part or all of the shooter's center bet". Such a bettor is a fader, (who, according to oddsmakers, enjoys a slight edge over the shooter. Therefore, craps hustlers pass when it is their turn with the dice).

I decided to fade the shooter five times for all five dimes, convinced he would crap out. Unfortunately, he threw two sevens and three elevens, costing me the entire five grand -- leaving exactly zero in Junior's college fund.

garage motel

A law-enforcement term for a hotel that hides its main purpose -- providing kinky rooms for brief trysts for, say, two cheaters or a john and his escort. Garage motels feign respectability by calling l themselves "hotels" -- yet they feature indoor garages and internal staircases to protect identities of visitors., making them more expensive than "regular" motels. Garage motels rent rooms which may include mirrors on ceilings and heart-shaped beds.

The FBI explained that the 2006 Brink's robbery in Miami became especially serious after one of the robbers was kidnapped and taken to a garage motel to be tortured in secret. Though the place called itself the Princess Hotel, they soon learned it was a garage motel that made a lot of money renting out discreet access to rooms for an hour at a time.
