As a person who has actually used the word "props" in conversation, its kind of funny to read y'alls sometime snooty sometimes derisive responses to this post. For those of you who live in USA you should check out a radio call-in host named Jim Rome (most famous for being attacked by an NFL quarterback on TV) as the language that he and his callers use is so extremely filled with slang (props being one of their favorite) that it takes practice to understand them sometimes. He's highly syndicated and should not be too hard to find on your AM dial.
