"Berlin" as the slang term for a sedan, also called a berline, comes from a type of horse-drawn carriage that was originally made in Berlin. This term was carried over to early automobiles that resembled these carriages, and "berline" is now the French term for a saloon or sedan.
After picking up the new ride, I proudly told my friends, 'Check out my sleek Berlin—it feels like driving a piece of history on wheels!'

Berlin was geht ab 

"Berlin was geht ab (?)" is a german sentence / question. It is used in case you fucked up while performing a performance (e.g. rapping or singing) or in case you said or did sth. embarassing. The goal is to distract the audience from your fail.

The origin of this sentence is from a well known german rapper called "Eno" who failed rapping his own part of a track on a live event in Berlin (July 2019). He forgot his lyrics and randomly started to speak unclear words. After that he directly asked the audience if they are all good and he wants to hear them sing.

Today it is also used in the youth age group as a funny question. Sometimes you also leave the word Berlin out or replace it with something else.
Example 1 (original):
Eno (a german autotune rapper): *randomly starts to speak chinese on a live concert
"Majfkebdkxkebalfekbfkbrille"

Eno: " Berlin was geht ab ? Seid ihr gut drauf oder was? Ich will euch alle hören, alle zusammen!"

Example 2:
*WhatsApp group chat*
Random dude: "Ey Gruppe was geht ab? Seid ihr gut drauf oder was?

Berlin power-nap

When you've been partying hard and had very little sleep and you know you have to go out and do it all again the next evening, so you have a quick nap before hitting the booze again. So called because of the 24/7 party scene in Berlin which leaves very little time for sleep.
"Man, I feel like shit - I think I'm gonna have to have a Berlin power-nap before I go out again tonight"
