La la la la

The noise you make when you refuse to listen to somebody and drown out their words with your own noise. Usually accompanied by sticking your fingers in your ears or shaking your head.

"We're both adults, right? Well, last night your mom and I were having maritals and she wanted me to try ... "
"I am not listening! La la la la!"

quick service restaurant

The industry uses "quick service restaurant" instead of "fast food" now, probably to get rid of the cheap, greasy, unhealthy stigma that comes with the "fast food" label. Often shortened to QSR among the owners and suppliers.

Taco Bell is often called a Fast Food Restaurant, but the PR people would prefer to call it a Quick Service Restaurant instead.

"What kind of POP do you have for QSR franchisees?"

you better

Same as "you should", though it can be use for any subject (I, he, she, we, it, they). Implies advice or warning. Common in the southern US, this phrase has been shortened down from:

You would be better off if you...
You would be better to ...
You'd be better...
You'd better...
You better...

Sometimes as a threat, a person will mistakingly say "you had better...", but the uncontracted version is "would" not "had".

You better get started on that paper if it's gonna be done by Monday.

You better be in this house when the street lights come on.

You better put them trash cans up on the porch, so's the dogs ain't gettin in 'em.

eightses

Shady way of announcing a pair of eights in poker to sound like "aces", in hopes that your opponent will fold or muck their cards and let you take the pot.

(Both players reluctant to show their hands at the end...)
Josh: "Pair of nines."
Sue: "Eightses." (winning expression)
(Josh returns cards to dealer unshown before he actually looks at hers.)
Josh: "Dude, I had you beat! I thought you said aces."
Sue: "Nope, eightses. You mucked, sucka."
