    Default h'okay, so

    apparantly my accent is prominent in how I even bloody type.

    What words or phrases do you find yourself saying without realising that they are infact slang? Many times Ive had "___?" as replies to something Ive said.

    For me, I always assumed "gutted" and "chuft" were used worldwide.

    you even said bloody when you typed. Basically no one says that over here in the US.

    I'm very simple in what I type, trying to get the message across using the least amount of text.

    I generally type what I'm gonna say anyway. Sometimes it involves me saying stuff like "D'you" or "What'cha". I tent not to worry about it too much.

    I say stuff like "I dunno" and "okies!" instead of the standard, because they bring out my personality a bit: more at eased, not as concerned with whether or not I use proper wording. I'm American by the way

    I don't think that I type with any of my slang in it. I doubt that anyone would be able to tell that I spoke with a Glaswegian accent through the way I type.

    Bloody. Chuffed. Gutted. Knackered. Shattered. Werzatoo?

    And I like saying crikey, By Jingo, spiffing, Sweet Mercy, Good Lord, Great Scott, howdy, y'all, aye, "is all" at the end of sentences, and loads of other things that normal Somersetters don't say.

    And the amount of slang words I just make up on the spot...crikey, no wonder I get so many "O_O<?"s.

    Knackered and Shattered are slang too? xD "Gutted" is way the best one though. Even if we pronounce it as "Guh-ih-d.", the t is only a tiny bit heard.

    Yup. Well, from what I've gathered. Y'know...people looking at you funny when you say you're knackered.

    I have no idea what most of those mean.

    I use slang a lot, but usually it's just mixing two commonly known words together. "Douchecock," for example.

    I think I do pretty well to avoid using british slang on the internet. Im pretty cockney in real life which should tell you alot how I speak offline. But yeah, never on the internet.
