Shockingly B&T lingo didn't really catch on unless it was used as sarcasim. I grew up in Santa Cruz (Surf country), Radical, Awesome, Tubular were slippery slopes. If you weren't careful you'd end up talking like a Valley (Tourists from anywhere NNE of Santa Cruz County. Think Los Gatos to Marin). But talk to surfers for a few minutes and the conversation will often turn towards surf conditions for the next month, or talk of some "Betty" (Surfer girl).

Spend enough time with a group and you make up your own lingo. Level of understanding varies depending on the situation. Pretty sure that's how most slang goes, not just CA.
