Do people even say half of these things? Like 'za, has anyone ever said that? Maybe in the US...
2012-02-07 | reply
My dad says that, but I always thought that was him being weird

A differential (in a car) is also called a diff

Aggro is also aggression - as in: Don't give me any aggro over this.

Isn't "barbecue" the standard (or at least an alternate) spelling?
2012-02-07 | reply
Quizmaster
You're right. I think barbecue is preferred. Changed it to that. Thanks!

I was cringing throughout this. Do people actually say 'za and addy?

i have never heard 'za here in the US

za is nothing. and legit is a legit word. aaaand to make any other case for the meaning of diff is a bit nitpicky.

I was going down the aggravation and Barbara route

You're right, Quizmaster. Many of these annoy me intensely!
2012-02-07 | reply
Never heard aggro as aggressive, just aggravated.
2012-02-07 | reply

I vote for both barbecue and aggravation.
2012-02-07 | reply

2012-02-07 | reply
Imagine using all of these words in one sentence... LOLOLOLOL
2012-02-07 | reply
Oh, and I am for barbeCue and aggravate!!!

BuckDonk
za is an acceptable Scrabble word now, amazingly. I've never heard it in the US.

Added a bunch of aggro options too. Apparently, people in the UK use aggro to mean aggravation, as in "I didn't bother because it because it was too much aggro".

It doesnt bother me when people write these shortened versions in short text messages. Some of them are ok to hear spoken. But when people start using them in formal conversations or documents, or using them as if they were legitimate* words, i feel great sorrow for civilization.

Barbie threw me off. I was fully expecting it to be something related to a female who is all "dolled up". Barby may have worked better for me.. but it seems as if I am alone on that, since everyone else understood it to be barbecue lol. Telly also had me scratching my head because in the 90s it meant telephone and in the 2k's it meant hotel. Ahhh... guess it matters where you are from.

When people say "Don't give me any aggro over this", it isn't short for "aggression". It's still short for "aggravation". I submit that "aggression" is actually a wrong answer for "aggro".
2012-02-07 | reply
Quizmaster
In the American sense, we use it to mean "Aggressive". Such as, "I don't like to go to the club, because there's a bunch of aggro dudes trying to start fights."

I am surprised that aggro is one of the lowest completed.

Barbie and telly are just how I've heard those words said in Australia and England, respectively. I've never heard anyone in American say them before. Are they common shortenings? o.O

Never heard of 'Za or 'Tude. What's so hard about saying pizza? I've always heard of Indie as Individual as well. Otherwise, pretty good quiz :)

Woah Quizmaster, don't lump all of us educated Americans in with the "aggro" crowd... All I could thing of was the Aggro Crag (Do you have it?)

electricpenguin32
I haven't heard quite a few of these honestly. I got most of them, but nobody actually says them...
2012-02-16 | reply

I'm American (mid-Atlantic), and I have NEVER heard "aggro" to mean aggressive, not even online or in the media. Sounds to me like it's probably regional.
2012-02-23 | reply
couldn't spell television. so stupid.
2012-02-24 | reply
Lol. I wish i could just write BBQ rather than barbecue...

all i could think about during this quiz is............ what would a white girl say
2012-03-05 | reply
Some quiz taker
In online gaming when you say aggro it means to aggravate a group of bad guys.
