New Jamaican slang

What is the new slang on the road, and what does it mean?

O.K. I went to the Island recently and I was able to pick a few slangs.

Da one yah gawn! 
Elephant man uses it in his song  "run dem weh"

To be honest there are many slangs in this song.

Another one I heard was Sell Off!

This slangs mean the same thing. What is the meaning? They both mean this is cool or of high quality or rating.

Slangs of yester year include:

Fenke Fenke

Budoof baff

Coo-kumkum

Fatty Boom boom

Boo-nuh-noon nus
