Welcome Adrienne,

Perhaps the best way to find what you are looking for is to go to a good search engine and search for slang.
My current favorite is Ixquick Metasearch. There's a ton of stuff there. Good luck!

Welcome to the board, Adrienne! I'm sure you'll feel right at home with all our intriguing wordfolk, here!

I just happen to have a couple slang sites bookmarked from recent research! This should give you everything you need. Enjoy!
