no da

A Japanese phrase tacked onto the end of sentences for emphasis and cute effect. Sometimes appears as "na no da," which has the same meaning. Made popular by the character Chichiri in the anime and manga Fushigi Yûgi, who uses it liberally. It is usually translated as "you know."

Dragon Slave

The most powerful black magic spell in the anime series Slayers, excepting the Giga Slave. This spell calls upon the power of the dark lord Shabranigdo. The spell's original name was "Dragon Slay," but over time, "slay" became corrupted into "slave." The spell is powerful enough to destroy a fair-sized city. For this reason, pissing off short, small-breasted sorceresses is not advised.

"Dragon Slave" can be used as a verb to mean "to destroy with a Dragon Slave spell." "Dragon Slaved" is an adjective to describe a person, place, or object which has been destroyed with this spell.
There used to be a town where that crater is, but it was Dragon Slaved shortly after this short girl and her weird friends came to town.

oha

Shortened form of "Ohayou gozaimasu," the Japanese salutation equivalent to "Good morning." It is a cute way of saying hello.

"Oha" was made popular by a Japanese celebrity, Shingo Katori, on the TV show "Saturday SMAP." He uses it as his catchphrase, and used it in his song "Shingo Mama no Oha Rock."

A hand gesture usually accompanies an "Oha!" greeting. On the first syllable "oh", hold up your hands, palms out, with your index fingers touching your thumbs (like the American "O.K." gesture). On the second syllable "ha," straighten out your index fingers and thumbs, and push your hands forward.

slackbitch

Concatenation of slacker and bitch. A slackbitch is a person (generally female, but may be male) who is extremely lazy and prone to procrastination. The term is used as a playful, mocking insult, and is most often applied to oneself, not other people. Slackbitches are usually quite proud of being slackbitches.
I am such a slackbitch, I don't use hangers or drawers to hold my clothes, they just lie about on the floor in varying states of cleanliness.
