Juan, I'm inclined to suggest you don't even try to stay current with slang and colloquialisms -- they exist primarily in pop culture and go in and out of usage so rapidly. But here are a couple of answers: Been-there, done-that (sometimes b-t, d-t, got the t-shirt), means effectively, I've had that experience. e.g., tattoos - been there, done that. blase buffoon - ??? (never heard that one) get one's ya-yas out means to cut lose and have fun. After a hard week at work, the girlfriends went to the club to get their ya-yas out.
