Bulbul English - welcome to Using English.
Our friend Philadelphia has given you a good list. However, please remember that these "words" are how people often pronounce these words/phrases, and they are not "good English" so avoid them in your writing (unless you are writing dialogue). They are okay in a text message, but nothing more formal than that.
