Manyak- stupid or silly (just remembered that one)
Plus i think the jiggy jiggy thing is something used in all tourist areas not just in turkey and its definately not turkish language.

Quoting oceanmavi:

ok some slang...
ne haber/naber - whats up
ne var ne yok - whats up
demi - isn't it
oğlan/lan - mate

and of course there's all the shortened future tense slang, eg
gitcem - i will go
ozlicem - i will mess
etc

some msn slang -

iii - i am fine
slm - hi
kib - take care
tsk - thanks

by the way, what does 's.a' mean in msn talk?


s.a means selam aleyküm * Peace be wıth you
the reply would be
a.s aliküm selam * Peace be upon you

I can confirm tha 'SA' or 'sa' or 's.a' mean 'Selam Aleykum'.. to plural audience, male/female.&& Salamun Aleyka to a male & Aleyki - to a female]

But this is Arabic. We use it as an expression, not as a grammatic usage.
