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.
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!
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.
