yes

Yes is an answer that can be given if the question is one of a limited selection or or a number. For instance let's say there are 3-possible choices for an answer to a question. The person responding can say YES and that means all three of them is the correct answer for them.

It can also mean a number. The question could be how many of something should appear or happen. If the answer is YES then it means to use the absolute maximum number possible. Often greater than a possible range the question may try to limit you to.

pulling a Casey

Everyone is familiar with the story of Casey Jones who up at bat because of his massive ego deliberately let two strikes get by him before he (presumably) would made a home run, but he didn't. He struck out on the last one.

"Pulling a Casey" in this case is used as an action of swindling. It simply means to deliberately flounder, mess up, or make deliberate mistakes in the beginning of a game to encourage competitors and gamblers into thinking they have an easy win.

When in fact their opponent is quite skilled in the area of interest and is waiting for real money to arrive before they show off their incredible and stunning skill at the cost of everyone involved.

It's appropriate in settings of gambling like playing pool or even the shell game.

In the shell game the dealer pulls a Casey with the new players by letting them win a couple of bucks by finding the pea easily enough under the shell.

But the dealer knows full well they're going to bet more and try to win more - and that's when the swindle comes in. Once they have won their confidence on how "easy" the game is.

Pulling a Casey in a game of table pool for instance can show a pool-shark deliberately make bad moves like miss sinking balls and even scratching the cue to encourage bets.

And then after a few bad shots once there is real money involved - that's when the shark plays for keeps and takes the competitors and bets for all they are worth, hustling them for all their money.
"Did you see that ? I've already won $5 from Justin in blackjack ! I'm upping my bet !"
"Watch out, dude, he could just be pulling a Casey on you."

dangry

jatter

Jatter is the word combination of jab and chatter. It is usually the insulting words you hear when separating two people from fighting and they continue to berate each other. It can also mean when one backs down from fighting and the other continues to incite them by yelling back insults in a clear attempt to goad them into fighting. The third is when one wants to fight the other and does so to entice them with rude insulting words.
"Okay okay, break it up ! We're not going to have a fight in my establishment."
"That's fine with me, I really don't want to fight him."
"Yeah, you would say that you yellow-belly punk-ass teat-sucking momma's boy !"
"Dude, just ignore his Jatter. Walk away. He's only trying to get at you."

cain't

"Cain't" is not the same as "can't." "Can't" as you know is a contraction for "cannot." Adding the "i" means that whatever cannot be done is WANTING to be done but is impossible to do so. It "ain't possible." and this is usually due to the circumstances surrounding it.
"Now, Milton. I just cain't get up in that water tower without the ladder."
"You're saying you don't know who took it, then ?"
"Exactly."
