too slangy for non-native speaker?
W: Thursday night - TV night. Are you parking yourself in front of the tube tonight?
M: Sure am. There's going to be a great documentary on tonight about China.
Q) Two expressions in the woman's turn are quite new to me. I was wondering if it sounds weird if non-native speakers who are a little fluent use those expressions.

moon7296 I was wondering if it sounds weird if non-native speakers who are a little fluent use those expressions. Slang always sounds weird coming from non-native speakers who are not yet fluent. In this case, you are probably not aware that 'park yourself' usually expresses irritation or impatience.
