No, that can't be right... it's gotta' be a colloquialism of some kind.

I assumed it's "we make"!

Although that is machen wir.

Haven't come across "wirs" in my time.

It means: Let's do it, and no, it's not slang.

It would be really cool to speak German; but not cool enough to go through the trouble to study and learn German.

Let's do it. I would say that's the translation. 'Machen wir es' is truncated to 'machen wirs'.

Thanks, "Let's do it!" it is then.

Just goes to point out the uselessness of translation site like Babel Fish that translates "Let's do it" to "Let' s tun es"
