If I have no clue what people are saying, I check the words from Urbaani sanakirja. If you are interested in the slang that many people use in Helsinki, you might like Stadin slangi ry page. If you like to listen to podcasts, theses are the ones that I like:
- Tuija Pehkonen by Tuija Pehkonen
- Noin viikon radio by Jukka Lindström
- Radio Sodoma by Antti Holma

I think in Helsinki those words are used quite often
I know! It wasn't the first time that I heard them either. :) It's kind of funny how some words just don't feel natural. However, I would probably easily say things like "Mä menin duunista himaan" if I lived in Helsinki for a year or two.:)
