  3. This is *fabulous!* I'm a linguist, so I find the language/slanguage people use absolutely fascinating. Thanks!

    This was fun. Very interesting that I'm more Aussie or Canadian than I am Southern. Then again, very few people believe I've really from Georgia!

  8. I scored 100% on Aussie slang too, and I've never even been there! 50% on both Canadian and Southern slang (hmm, talk about going from one extreme to the other), 25% each for British, New England, and prison slang.

    That was fun - thanks, Cathy!

  11. Blodeuedd-- I could say the same thing, especially since my results were 100% Aussie!

    Lilly-- Yes, that is an interesting outcome!

    Margot K-- You're welcome! I find it fascinating, too.

    Beth-- I'd hmmm over that myself!

    Jen-- I was a bit disappointed that my Southern percentage was very low. My English husband must be having more of an effect on my speech patterns than I realized!

    Barbara-- I have the same problem! Either that... or they laugh so hard when I'm speaking that they lose the conversational thread! LOL

    Kathy-- Now yours definitely fits you!

    Florinda-- You're welcome! I love quizzes like this.

    Louise-- I'm beginning to think that this quiz was rigged! LOL

    Margaret-- You and Kathy help keep the quiz honest. :) And the US is supposed to be a melting pot, so it shouldn't come as any real surprise that our slanguage is a bit confused!

  14. Okay I had NO idea what some of these were. A chaz? Never heard of any of these explanations! Same goes for most of them. I didn't even bother finishing because I was just marking the most interesting choice instead of what I "know" it to be. Oh well.
