Jacob, could you give an example of what you are referring to? It sounds amusing, and it doesn't look like I can find such things by Google.

Lojban works fine as it is without slang...
The only slang I can think of are intentional word-for-word
translations of natlang expressions, which are hilarious in Lojban,
because it gets at the true interpretation. Other than that, there's
intentional misuse of certain words, like {je'a} which I (and some
others) use alone to mean something like a cross between {ie} and
{go'i}.
