    Default your slanguage Profile

    I was bored this morning, I went and started to see all the members website when I ended taking that test in Micheal May website. Ok, it may not means a lot since english is not my first language and I know about none of those expression, but it was fun anyway!

    What is a victorian slang?


    I also did the "How american are you?" test http://www.blogthings.com/howamericanareyouquiz/
    and I got this not suprising answer :
    You Are 18% American
    You're as American as Key Lime Tofu Pie
    Otherwise known as un-American!
    You belong in Cairo or Paris...

    Apparently I shoulda been Aussie or Canadian! I'm not exactly a Southerner, but I figured I'd at least score in that catagory. Oh well! G'day mates!

    Oops forgot this! I guess I'm American afterall!

    You Are 73% American

    Most times you are proud to be an American.
    Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
    Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.
    You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!

    I found it odd. To me a 'jerry' is a german, a 'packie' is from pakistan, the basic stereotype words.
    'Fluff' is light entertainment. Some meant nothing to me and I guessed what they could mean. Oh well.

    and...

    31%? Is that bad?

    Heh, this is a no-brainer. I'm a Canadian raised by Newfies, so the first one is no surprise, and I'm working on an Australian comic book, so it's no surprise on the second one either...

    As for how American I am, well, as a student of Anglo-Saxon culture and religion, who believes that on the ground level an Englishmans an Englishman is an Englishman ...
