What Slanguage Do You Speak?

You Speak British Slang
British Slang: 50%

Canadian Slang: 50%

New England Slang: 50%

Prison Slang: 50%

Aussie Slang: 25%

Southern Slang: 25%


Okay, Canadian makes sense to me, as I lived there (timbits!) and New England certainly makes sense to me, and British in a pretentious kind of way (I find chav creeping into my speech lately), but prison slang? Yeah, that comes from my time in the slammer... I think to be a truly effective quiz, each question should include the choice "I have no idea," as some of these were guesswork, or what seemed like the most sensible answer. Though I suppose the fact that one answer seemed more sensible to me than another would mean I was more familiar with that particular slang, even if I don't use it really. Some of them, though--a rag baby, to me, would be a baby you conceived when you thought you couldn't, not any of the choices given.

All the carpets in our building are being cleaned today. I am glad it is marginally warm enough to open the one window that opens.
