I think the knowledge of Singlish varies based on generation mostly. I can understand all of it but I believe some of the terms are lost amongst the youngsters nowadays, especially the more hokkien-centric examples like bak jiu tak stamp. Hopefully they can learn more examples from their parents and grandparents before they are totally lost.
Some that contain Hokkien phrases they don't know because these days youngsters don't know their own dialect anymore. They usually converse with each other in a mix of some simple Singlish and broken English. Lol....Singlish will soon die a slow death in a few generations. The Govt will be very happy about that yet we also aren't moving towards speaking good English.
