I have compiled a set of multiple choice questions, some are easy, some are hard and others you may be able to work out. Remember the answers are ‘slang’ answers and not literal answers. E.g – “A Salmon” is NOT a fish, but a $20 note because of its colour.
Good luck!

I’m sorry. You need to keep your ear to the ground and pay more attention. Most of the slang you’re hearing is flying right over ya.
5 – 7
All in all a good job. There is room for improvement but one could safely say you would understand most of the slang you hear.
8 – 10
Genius! A champion of your trade. You’re not someone that just understands slang but you probably create a lot of it yourself. Well done!
