Re: What the hell are they talking about?
 
I scored a very respectable 0 out of 10. I'll put my teeth in, Pyjamas & slippers on & head to bed.

Nah gobbing up here is what you do when you constantly argue(with parents in particular) as in you are always gobbing off, my parents used to say it to me all the time.

Yeah, it means that too where I come from.

But if you spit then we'd say you've just gobbed

4/10 innit.

Re: What the hell are they talking about?
 
Hmmmm, I got 4/10. Got thrown off by 'gopping' which is UK navy-slang for disgusting! I'm quite sure teenagers outside London do not use a lot of that slang. I'd like a SW-slang test, sure I'd do much better on that!

I wonder what the 20 words are that they use all the time - yeah, no, but, what, whatever..... what else?

Yeah i noticed that ;)
i think every area has its own language at times.
I must admit when i hear a scouser or even a strong geordie accent then i need a translator to understand them.
I think we need a teenager translator too by the looks of things :D

It's alright mate, you don't have to talk to them much. They lock themselves in their bedrooms for days on end and you can't go in cos it stinks :D

Gopping was also a term used by Brit army to describe a dirty rifle ie one which had been fired but not cleaned.

I got 4/10 but no flaming idea why :confused: My teenager doesn't talk like that thank god and she slaps the hand of a friend who ends sentences with "but" I have one classy chick there daddyo :D

Think I'll get her to take the test tomorrow. If she gets more than me, she's grounded ;)

Got 2/10 on quiz... what a load of crap they speak now if that is true, only got McFittie or whatever correct because of Greys Anatomy... :( .
