I found this Slanguage quiz at Blogthings. It's amazingly accurate!!

I'm Canadian, with an English mother whose Polish father learned his English in post-war Britain. Guess the Victorian slang comes from my study of history, while some of my family lives in Australia and I watch Aussie tv shows from time to time (Behind the Frontline and McLeod's Daughters among others). NO idea where the prison slang comes from - pop culture, I imagine *g*.

Good grief - most of that stuff I had to guess on! Fortunately my highest slang percentage (75%) came out British (I am British), but the next highest was Prison slang! Well, I thought my family was a bit dodgy, but ...
I had to guess on most of them, too. I ended up 50% Canadian and 25% everything else except for New England, which came it an a big fat goose egg.
