Accordng to the U.S. Media, these words are very important in the U.S.A. today.

TLC’s members of U.S.A. (Roswitha, girleegirl , Elisabeth , Leelu , teaschip, geniuda) know it better

Is it right?

 I think it all depends on a person´s particular situation.  I would absolutely agree with some...but others...not so much?  I have never heard the term "Spot-cash" and we don´t typically use the word "Rubbish" in America.

 Heheheh yes!  And another "talk show" favourite is:-

 

"So she turned around and said...."
