7. topsy-turvy : kacau-balau
8. trade in : tukar tambah
9. just my luck : celakalah saya
10. say grace : berdoa sebelum atau sesudah makan

slangs is english expressions that are not raw or more often called in indonesian slang. the use of slang is generally not found in formal communication both for writing and pronunciation but people generally use it in daily communication. i'll give the slangs examples too guys...
