Stand back

A phrase used in the sense of "hold onto your hats" Inspired by the 1983 hit by Stevie Nicks, exclaiming stand back once or twice in a row is used to prepare somebody to be shown or told something amazing. The known origins of such use of the term are from around Richmond Virginia, by 80's heads who sought to help keep the 80's alive and well.
Oh my stars! That dude done yelled out "Stand back! Stand Back!" from the bedroom. Next thing he came out dressed like one of the break dancers from the video to that song! He is so retro!

Normie

Chiefly an Alcoholics Anonymous expression. A person who does not have a drinking problem. Either they can drink in moderation and never drink in excess or they choose to be teetotalers without having ever developed a drinking problem themselves.
I cannot see how a normie can just stop at one beer.

Dauncey

Not feeling all that great. May also mean person, place, thing not looking all that great. The first known use of the term in mainstream was from I Love Lucy in 1952 where she goes to the doc and finds out she's pregnant. The character mentioned her grandma "making the word up". It's uncertain if it's the character grandma or actress's real life grandma who made it up, or claimed to. Alternative spelling dauncey.
Good heavens, I'm feeling rather dauncey. I hope I've not caught cv19!

Porty

Porta john. A term which is thought to be very recently coined. It sounds like a British slang. However it is Southern in this definition, supposedly originating in Richmond Virginia.
I can't stand using a porty. It smell horrendous. And in summer it's so hot that along with the smell may choke one to death in 30 seconds.

Gannish

A mispronunciation for ganache, a form of dark semi sweet chocolate blended with cream. Used by ignorant people who don't know that the pronunciation sounds like g'nosh
What are all them different chocolates in the box? Look at this one, gannish

Smut

Sexually explicit content. It can be stories, porn, tv shows and movies, with varying degrees of sexual content. It is a pretty subjective term. People may disagree on whether a mild innuendo constitutes smut or not. But over time mild content was considered less and less smutty. But hardcore pornography and x rated movies remain smutty. In high school, and you may joke if you want, I was offended by ancient Greco Roman statues in the history books and called it smut. The teacher said it was not. The word smut in this definition was attested to in 1983 in the tv show Mama's Family. Main character Thelma, (Vicki Lawrence) didn't approve of smut and used the term in the first episode and periodically throughout the series run. However it can be seen in later episodes she still frowns on it but no longer got so offended by very mild content.
Well how did this smut get into my house? You most certainly can not you're far too young to be reading that smut...
...it isn't smut Thelma. The section the child read was taken totally out of context...
...if I'd have known that trash was being written up in that studio I would've put a stop to it a long time ago.
