Say What - A to Z slang/colloquialism game.

[notsmokinjo]

So this used to live elsewhere on a Sundee but ya know wot it deserves its own home. So the concept is simple...following the alphabet list a slang word that's normal for you, an example and a translation (those Scottish lasses, The Wees, have some pearlers).

 

Those trixy letters can be skipped although we do encourage @Sslip's Algebraic Law Of X, or playing a SLOX where you start with x= ## and the number starts your play...or, X=69

 

Spose I betta go first..

 

Avo.

pronounced Av-oh

Example: yeah-NAH ta, I'll av some avo on me sanga.

Translation: yes thanks, I'll have some avocado on my sandwich.
