Hello guys! This week Angel9978 and I decided to do a little challenge for you guys. It's called British Slang vs American Slang! I gave Angel9978 six British slang words for her to guess the meaning of and she gave me American slang and I did the same. Take a look at how it went and who was the overall winner, the person who guessed the most correctly.
