"Vachement" (très)
"Péter un plomb" or "craquer" (to go crazy)
"Dégueulasse" or "dégueu" (disgusting)
"Saloperie" (a milder way of saying "putain", also that way you can layer your cursing like "putain de saloperie d'ordi de merde" if you're feeling really angry against your computer xD)
"Beauf" (that beer-drinking football-watching overly macho guy stereotype)
"Lourd" or "relou" (someone or something someone does that's repetitive and annoying/not respecting your personal space, for example people who catcall are often called "relous", or you could say "il n'arrête pas de faire des sous-entendus graveleux, c'est lourd")
"Chelou" (weird)
