What does "tribal chops" and "slap around" mean in here?
I did research and I guess "tribal" in here means "showing solidarity" and "chops" is a controversial gesture originating in Native American community. So in this context does it mean something like some people are too invested in the echo chamber of community that they are losing the plot? Also what does "slap around" mean?
is there any difference between 'told him' and 'told them' in American accent?

Are the phrases "He can play the guitar" and "he knows how to play guitar" interchangeable?
Basically what is in the title. Edit: What about the phrases "he can climb the tree" and "he knows how to climb a tree" are they interchangeable as well? For me it doesn't feel like they are. Edit 2: Removed "not" from the phrase "he can climb the tree", I had put it there by mistake.

Do you guys actually know when to use present/past perfect?
I mean I know that in some cases it is pretty clear I should use it, as in: "Have you ever been to Brazil?". But in general I'm not quite sure how to use it. I know what it expresses but it feels so abstract to me, usually I just use it when I feel that it sounds right
Could you guys tell me some random words/idioms that are essentials or never heard before? Thanks
