Maybe I'm just an absolute plum.

If you watch a lot of British media, you probably expect to hear some confusing (and potentially ridiculous!) words and phrases. Now it's time to test your knowledge. Do you understand more British slang than the average American? Take this quiz to find out!

And if you don't consume British media, good luck! You'll need it.

Let's be honest: The Brits have just as many petty quibbles with our American slang as we do with theirs. Ultimately, all words are gibberish until we give them meaning, and I think that's beautiful*.

*But whoever invented the modern spelling of "b-e-a-utiful" can kick rocks. That word sucks.

Did you know any of these terms?
