Nihao!
I'm trying to pick up a little mandarin here and there in preparation for my mandarin course at college this fall.
I happened across some "slang" but the accent marks are not around.
could someone provide the rising, flat or falling tones for some words?

Léiméngdé - Pronunciation? Supposedly this is my name in Mandarin.
I'm getting the impression that this is simply a phonetizized version of my name and not a "real" chinese name.
shen-me (pronounced shuh-muh?) supposedly meaning "what?"
bi-zui (pronounced beetzway?) supposedly meaning "shut up"
ai-yah (pronounced aiyah?) supposedly meaning "damn" or an exclamation of suprise/regret?
chou-se (pronounced chousee?) supposedly meaning "stinking crap"
go-se (pronounced gosee?) supposedly meaning "dog crap"
ke-pah pronounced kuhpah?) supposedly horrible, horrific
I've also been told zao (tzao) supposedly means damn.
so something like, "ai-yah, whua hui shwa see potongqua"
would be (roughly) Damn! I speak crappy mandarin
Or less vulgar: "Whua hui shwa kuhpah potongqua"
(roughly) " I speak horrible mandarin"
thanks!
