Shaka zulu

All over town or all over a large geographic area, or a distant location. Used the same way people use driving to or all over timbuktu
I done had to drive all over Shaka Zulu to find the things I needed for....
That doctor I had to see is all the way out to Shaka Zulu.
I love just driving all around Shaka Zulu with no destination, just enjoying the open road and the scenery.

Fish eyed fool

1972-1977 CBS. Catch phrase used by Aunt Esther directed at Fred Sanford in response to his insults, frequently referencing all that ugly on her face. She will exclaim, "Why ya ole fish eyed fool!". Whilst the fish eyed meaning may be obscure, though has been used in the 60's or earlier, it may be speculated that Esther was telling Fred why he don't look in the mirror.

Gannish

green warrant

TDO or temporary detention order. Green warrant was used in parts of the US of A for when a person, perhaps because of a psychiatric disturbance, posed a threat to oneself or others and it is an order for involuntary admission to a psychiatric institution, or as some might say, a hoo hoo hotel.
That guy needs to be green warranted. He belongs in the hoo hoo hotel.

Oonie

The vagina; this dates back at least to 1990, the Golden Girls episode Blanche Delivers in which Sophia comes up with the euphemism oonie.
Not to be confused with Ooni, a brand of portable wood pellet pizza ovensProbably coincidental in that Sophia is Sicilian and Ooni makes a pizza oven, but the brand name has its roots in Africa.
Dorothy: Ma, you know you're really hurting my feelings.

Sophia: Not as much as you hurt my oonie!

Joyces

Plural of joist is joists. Due to the similarity with the mostly girls' given name, some people dumb it down, by humour or perhaps ignorance, and say joyce/joyces.
What size steel joyces I need for my floors and ceilings? I'm using steel and masonry to build my house?

220

A, second to none. In the US, 220 is thought of as high power, so something being called 220 means high test, quality, etc.
B, a 240 volt mains circuit. Early on in house wiring, 110 and 220 were often used. The US upgraded to a 120/240 standard, though still commonly referred to as 110 and 240 respectively. In Europe many times even recently the standard was 220 with many countries adopting a new 230 standard, so may be colloquially referred to as 220
Cool! That thing is 220!
I gotta run 220 for my EV cjarging socket
