As anyone who has tried to read anything in Middle English knows, the language of Shakespeare has been evolving for hundreds of years. Rhymes shift, words become more or less formal, and loan words come in from other languages. Neologisms describe new objects and ieas, whlie concepts and items join forces to create portmanteau words. English is also a languages that is especially prone to picking up phrases and even turns of phrase from foreign tongues, without adjusting its own rules, thus making much of it irregular. All of this is one reason that picking it up as a second language is considered particularly hard.
Slang, of course, makes this even more confusing. British slang is so bewildering that even many Brits can't quite keep up with it, and in the internet age, it's simply changing faster than ever. Sometimes British slang is so confusing that it seems certain it must have been made up to bamboozle the listener, but if you're really on the ball, you will just about be able to keep up. That's why we've given you both help and hindrance in this quiz, in the form of a scrambled version of the answer. If you can identify all these slang terms, you're either a Brit yourself, or you're qualified to become one immediately!
