A chicanoism that translates in English to "Just to let you know", or "Just so you're aware".
Many Californians and residents of Southwest states will not even recognize this phrase as regional or colloquial, and will in fact believe that it is an English phrase. It is actually from the Chicano language.

A genre of music popular on the central coast of California, typified by reggae-derived rhythms in a guitar-centric format. Lyrically it draws on classic reggae without the religious overtones.
If you feel a skunky groove but see beardless white kids and one Hispanic guy in a plaid shirt, it's probably Rasta Blanca.

Romp or Romper (n.) /rɔmp/ or /rɑmp/, from French /ramper/
: A strong and thick cocktail of gin or vodka, sometimes rum, or a blend of two of these, made palatable with dark fruit purées and juices such as blueberry, açaí, or black cherry, along with pineapple and sometimes banana. The recipe is believed to have originated among teenagers in early 21st century America and is traditionally made in a blender by the pitcher using cheap, typically-stolen liquor whose sharp taste is masked by sweet fruits. The specific use of blueberry and açaí is a post-millenial innovation and regionally popular in Northern California. The name may derive from a short-lived revival of the "sleep-romper" (or simply romper) in young women's fashion in the post-recession decade or ultimately from the common origin of both of these names which refers to boisterous play and revelry.

(Adj.)
Shortening of "loco".
Can be used as an endearment, similar to "fool." Tightly associated with surf, skate, and snow, "loke" evokes boldness and confidence, but not specifically aggression. A lokester is essentially the foil to a gangster; he is a self-reliant chiller rather than a loyal menace.
Not to be confused with: Loc or Loc', which is short for Local and is widely used in resort town with high densities of tourists, transplants, students, drifters, or other non-loc's.
Origin: Southern California, ultimately from Spanish. Probably emerged from bilingual communities in the Los Angeles basin sometime around 1990. By 2010, the ethnic connotations were basically lost and the word was used by white teenagers in Northern California and elsewhere.

Chicanoism. Also spelled as Toorki Xám.
Legend has it that no Anglo person can set eyes on this mystical foodstuff. Reports indicate that is either some kind of metaphysical homeostasis of both turkey and ham (i.e. just as Christ is 100% man and 100% god, so too is Turkey Ham 100% turkey and 100% ham) OR that it is turkey sliced into ham-steaks.
Those who have experienced Turkey Ham firsthand are known to fly into a rage when Anglos say they have no idea what Turkey Ham is.
