"tæsje" - to take/steal

"serr" - really/seriously?

"dd -> du da?" - and you?

"lættis" - hilarious

Some I could think of on top of my head.

"dævva" is the past tense form of "å dævve", which is a variation on "å daue", a dialectal form of "å dø", i.e. "to die" in English. This usually doesn't have the connotation of someone actually dying, but rather something like "dying of laughter"
