Some of these would confuse native British English speakers too, for what it's worth. The first and third are African-American vernacular, at least originally. If you haven't seen a US movie where a character literally exclaims "daaaaamn girl!" in an approving voice, you're going to pretty reliably mislabel that one regardless of where or how you learned English. The second is a meme reference and how you label it is going to be dependent on how much time you spend on reddit, not your level of English skill.
