Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My 14-year-old daughter comes home and sits down on the sofa. I angrily approach her as I ask her why she was 'waggin' it' today. What do I mean by this term?

Answer: Skipping school

Skipping school, or 'waggin' it' is a very serious matter and parents may have to appear in court if their son or daughter has repeatedly done this.

2. What am I asking someone to do if I ask them to 'stop taking the mick'?

Answer: Stop making fun of me/them

For example:
"Hey! Look at Jim's glasses! Don't they make his eyes look small!"
"Aww, stop taking the mick out of him!"

Some people also say, "Stop taking the mickey out of him."

3. I refer to something or someone as 'fit' but I do not mean healthy; what do I mean?

Answer: Delicious, amazing; attractive

'Fit' is considered a compliment in British slang, for example:

"Aww, Jake, check out that car!"
"Wow, she is fit as, mate!"

4. I am eating a meal that I have never tried before; I take a bite and say that it is 'minging'. What do I think of this new meal?

Answer: I find it disgusting

'Minging' (usually pronounced without the 'g') is an insult which can be used on items or people. If you are referring to a person as 'minging' they will have done something disgusting such as not bathing for weeks.

5. My 18-year-old son is teaching his youngest sister how to do her times tables. After half an hour he tells me that she is 'thick'. What does he mean by this?

Answer: Stupid

"She's really thick if she doesn't know that 2 x 14 is 28 at the age of ten!"

Another variant of this is:

"Don't be a thick-o, Lucy! You should know this by now!"

6. My next-door neighbour turns up at my door and I think to myself "God, she is hammered." What do I mean by 'hammered'?

Answer: Drunk

The British can take any word and add 'ed' to it to make a word that means drunk. 'Hammered' is a popular slang term for drunk, but the more popular ones tend to be a bit vulgar.

7. I go to visit my elderly mother and I call her a 'nutjob'. What do I mean when I call her this?

Answer: Crazy

"She's a proper nutjob, mum!"
"I know but it's not her fault, it's the morphine making her like this."

8. My eldest daughter asks me if she can borrow �10 so she can go to the cinema with her friends. I say that I am 'skint' in reply. What do I mean by this?

Answer: I have little/no money

If I had lots of money I would say that I am 'loaded'. For example:

"Can I borrow some money?"
"Sorry, I'm skint."
"But you were loaded yesterday!"
"My bills got paid last night. I've got no money now."

9. If I am being 'stingy' what am I being?

Answer: Selfish

"Can I borrow your hairdryer?"
"No, I need it!"
"Aww, don't be stingy, you don't even need it right now!"

10. I am making plans with my friend to go out at the weekend. She says to go to her place at 8pm. I reply by saying 'sound'. What do I mean by this?

Answer: That's fine; good

"Come to mine at 8. We'll have a few drinks and relax."
"Yeah, sound."

Hope you enjoyed playing!
