    Hi, I’m a writer here at Bored Panda. When I’m not writing, you can find me reading books, binge-watching TV shows, making pottery and jewelry, or cooking. I love good food and good company. I also love my dog and cat who bring me so much joy every day.

    We're just good at inferring from given data. All of those English exams did us well.

    20/20. Some, are things that have been said for 20+ years. Some, are the same, but misspelled. The rest, I know because I have five teenagers. They don't talk like that, but they do show me videos they think are funny.

    I'm 60 and got 13/20, and it told me I needed to learn these words. No, BP, I seriously do NOT need to learn these words. Let them learn my words. That's how my world works, and it runs like a well-oiled machine, baby....

    20/20. I am 57 but I have ears and brain. This slang is close enough to actual words to easily pick it up. However, I will not even try to speak like this.

    Okay, so I only got a 19/20. As for how old I am really, picture it, Georgia, late summer/early fall 1986. Seriously though, Context is everything. If this was was colonial era slang, I'd fail.

    42, 14/20, but as I don't even talk to my own age group all that much, ... it's gonna be obsolete and surpassed in a year or two anyway, once the oldtimers (am I one yet?) start trying to adopt it.

    19/20 and I just turned 52. And the one I missed is because I hit the wrong button on my iPad because tremors 😂 I forgot we are supposed to be in a nursing home watching Murder She Wrote and Matlock reruns by now, not going to concerts, hiking and playing sports. Might break a pElvis. Or discover a new band like Led Zeppelin.
