Re:Slang in japanese
This is not easy...the intonation would be key in this kind of case.
As you may realize, there're bunch of various meanings of COME ON! in English as well.
But think of it, you use intonation and high pitch, low pitch naturally.
Likewise, Japanese COME ON requires those stuff.
As for your question, when it comes to ordering someone, we would say 'dou?' but this is a very basic word and slightly weak expression. When you stress your order, if you are male. you would go 'dou nan dayo?` but this may be a slightly strong and pushing.
Wow... I write too much, I better close now.
If you have more question, please feel free to ask me.
Thanks,
Aky

Ciao, sono una ragazza giapponese. Ho studiato l'italiano in Italia,
ma non ho tanti occasioni di praticarlo. Vorrei avere gli amici con cui posso parlare delle cose interessanti in italiano. Se vuoi imparare giapponese, posso aiutarti.

Re:woohoo
yeah, it is an adverb.
we usually use it in this sentence, "waku waku suru".
that means i'm excited.
"i'm very excited" is "sugoku waku waku suru".
it's easy, isn't it?
