Here are some words I could think of, many of the words are impossible to translate!

Не тормози. = Slow thinking, literal translation is "Stop braking"
Пипец. equivalent to when you use Screwed, Oh Oh, damn. No literal translation abbreviated пиздец
Старпер. (старый пердун) = Old fart
Старая кляча. = something like An Old Car
Карифа or Карифан = Ugly girl or ugly looking boy, this term could be rare, but it is used in some parts of Russia as slang.
На халяву соль сладка = Salt tastes like sugar when its free.
Халява = Free stuff, free of work day
Халявщик = a person who gets by the easy way.
В натуре = In reality, really.
Понты конать = when someone thinks highly of himself. has a negative connotation.
