      Never heard of slang? Also, I’m sorry, but nobody presumed you knew what the phrase meant because nobody was talking to you. If you had been part of the conversation then someone using slang that you didn’t understand would have been presumptuous. English is a mess of a language and like all languages is constantly evolving, so instead of gatekeeping, maybe just try to keep up?

      I guess it depends on what dialect you’re speaking, but I do understand that to mean thank you even if the words thank you weren’t explicitly said.
