	Need help with translation Get a bigger avatar today!

Hello, I got a good idea for a story into the Stories contest, and I have already written most of the story in my native language and I just have to translate it to English. I know English quite well for a non-native English speaker, but unfortunately the story contains a lot of slang and expressive words, which I canīt find in any "serious" vocabulary. And without these used, the story wonīt be so colourful and lively. So, Iīm looking for a volunteer from the native English speakers, who will help me find proper synonyms for words that I want to use in the story. I donīt want to public the story before itīs finished and corrected, so I would send the crucial words via private mail here...
If someone is willing to help me, I would be very thankful...

Do you need someone who also speaks your language? If you don't (i.e. you just need an English-only speaker) I'll help you out.

No I donīt need my language speaker. I know how to translate all the words into "common" English, I just need to replace them with some more expressive synonyms.
