Yes, it's a meme-thingy - but it's an interesting one...

Because [livejournal.com profile] semyaza did it and where she leads, I'm honoured to follow. In some things, at least. ;)

Your Slanguage Profile

British Slang: 75%
Aussie Slang: 50%
Victorian Slang: 50%
Prison Slang: 25%
Canadian Slang: 0%
New England Slang: 0%
Southern Slang: 0%



British slang is where it should be, at the top of the list. I also did a lot of guessing. Apparently I know a lot more prison slang than Canadian, New England and Southern slang combined. Stop looking at me suspiciously!

Wait a minute - there are people who don't know what a timbit is? It boggles the mind.

What boggles me is how a country can name a "bite-sized donut hole" (http://www.timhortons.com/en/menu/menu_donuts.html). I mean, a hole? Am truly boggled.

Well, okay, it's a bit silly. They're just really tiny donut pieces, and you can have five different flavoured ones in place of one donut, which is great. They're also good for long trips in the car, if you by a forty-pack...

(Acually, Tim Hortons has destroyed my ability to order coffee - I keep thinking that any store will know what I want if I ask for a triple-triple, and this is not always the case.)

I had gathered that. But I'm still boggling over the description. I mean, WTF?

Ooh! Drools at the thought of a 40=pack of mini-doughnuts...

Well, I suppose they get the description because they're about the size of a donut hole... you have to understand that no one acually thinks of them as donut holes - that's just the marketing guy's thing, or whatever. They're timbits.

You see, they have their uses.
