Green as a slang means to not have a lot of knowledge for a given subject. Think of a newly spouted plant. It is now in a world where everything is new to it and it must learn to adapt.
Green= fresh; when information is fresh, or you have just learned the information you are not an expert over the subject. It takes time to learn about a topic.
Example- "Why are you so green?" (It is inferred that what is being take about is life. To be green is life, is to not know much about life and its events)
Another Example- "Your computer skills are still green."

Green in soflorida means messed up or doing someone wrong. Ex- if someone wrongs you you can say in response"You green af for that" At least in Broward that's how it's used.
