"I Had a Porn Time Last Night, But I'm Chenzed Right Now"

Okay, I hate ending a blogging day on a problem report, so here's an item from BBC News -- their midweek quiz features a 10-question quiz on teen slang (uses Flash).

From the quiz:

"Teenagers use just 20 words for a third of their speech, according to a new study by Lancaster University.

And their vocabulary is peppered with slang that can seem - to those old enough to vote and to drink legally - incomprehensible.

Test yourself on the slang used by the teens in the study."

Some of the words used in the quiz (on which I got a 5. And that was on the second time, too) include:

hollage
confuzzled
mcFittie
flim
gopping

The slang from Clockwork Orange made more sense; at least that was just Russian.

Thanks -- Joe

I got 4 out of 10. Of course, it's British slang they're talking about, isn't it. Man, I can't understand those guys when they're not using slang.
