Sure I understand it, but I wouldnt if someone said it to me quickly, and I certainly wouldnt be able to say it. TIS CRAZINESS!!! *runs away*

Yes I understood but that would be horrid to speak like.

Oh god I use so much St Helens slang. We say things are "well mint", "proper fab", "pure nice", "Fair good", "Oooh, I well bum off this song!" and just stuff like that xD
English slang is more "gutted" and "chuft"; I think most english people use those.

I live near Liverpool, so Im used to the way they speak. I can kinda understand that paragraph, as Liverpudlians speak english kinda like that.

The vernacular is something I enjoy using during the proper situations, though most of the time its usage is minimal.

Did you hear about that chick over there? She got wasted last night and was totally hungover this morning, but you gotta give her kudos, she came to school, except she passed out in class and the teacher started harassing her. It was all her fault anyways, and here I have to stop because the rest is unintelligible

I'll very rarely use slang I tend to speak properly because it was how I was raised and most of the slang I do use is American or Canadian due to the high level of exposure I have to Americans and Canadians.
