Quiz: Test your knowledge of slang

  • Published
    16 October 2013

Yesterday a school in Croydon banned its students from using slang words such as "coz" and "innit".

The school thinks that it could improve standards of education. Others say it's wrong to censor how young people speak if it's not offensive and that slang is a sign of how our language is developing. Take our quiz to see how slick your slang is!
