I can try - slang is not the easiest thing to translate.. Is it slang from Quebec, slang from the Maritime, from Ontario??

I'm sure there has to be a word for "idiot American teenager who thinks Canadian history is filled with street gangs who speak wicked French slang."

For example, I know that "mec" is Frech Canadian slang for "dude". What's the female version of a "mec"?

None that I know about and that is mainstream.
But I think 'mec' is more used in France than in Quebec. I usually hear 'man'.

Can someone please tell me what the difference is between joual and l'argot is?

Argot
Joual
Argot is a general term (basically the 'code speech' of a group of people) not limited to french, while joual is specifically French Canadian slang.

"Joual" would be specific to a kind of French spoken by some Canadians, "argot" means the same thing in French as it does in English, it's just a generic term for any slang in any language.

a smart/clever person
