I can't honestly think of anything that is punk slang. Perhaps this is a question for punks abroad, i'm sure the UK has their fair share of slang to go along with the subculture.

A lot of the slang my punk friends in San Diego used was old beatnik slang like calling your apartment your "pad" and other stuff.

I remember I had one punk roommate who always used to say "What's up now?!" and it was really funny!

Straight Edge - a subculture and subgenre of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational drugs. It was a direct reaction to the sexual revolution, hedonism, and excess associated with punk rock. For some, this extends to refraining from engaging in promiscuous sex, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and not using caffeine or prescription drugs. The term was adopted from the song "Straight Edge" by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat. copied and pasted from wikipedia

Skiffed Mary - A sheltered, most likely-middle class girlfriend you bring to a punk rock show to show her "your tastes" and she ends up traumatised and possibly dead.

Smobber - The loud, destructive, belligerent kind of punk rock fan who seems to be at the venue every night and yet no one seems to know or like.

Kissy Rinkers - A "punk" act, that sell out and become Glatonbury stalwarts.

Riffed Mary - The sheltered girlfriend you bring to a rock concert who becomes transformed by her experiences into a punk goddess gorgon b****.

B****** Hams - The kind of punk band everybody's talking about but no-one's ever seen.

Lydon's Frigates - Posers.

Surprised you guys don't know these.

Like I said its a UK thing. Straight Edge to me doesn't even qualify, its a sub culture of the sub culture. Its not really slang.
