Re:American English Slang
These are very American, but you could use most of them in a country that speaks British English and be understood. A lot of American slang migrates to Britain through american movies, so people will probably have heared most of these phrases before.
The only ones I had not heared were "Off the hook" to mean "cool" and "Digits". I don't think these would be well understood in Britain or other English-speaking countries.

Re:American English Slang
Would just like to point out that if you use the term "tight" in the north of England, It would mean reluctant to spend money/thrifty (He's too tight to put his hand in his pocket), or unwilling to share (Dont be tight).
