But then, I do have just a wee bit of an advantage.

Now to master saying the street names in Idaho...

Don't feel too bad Arlen - I've lived here all my life and I'm not sure how I'd do on that one!

10 out of 10 for me.
not that much of a stretch though. I use most of those words on a daily basis anyway.

10 out o 10.

but for me that is English - just about - so I know my turnips from my spuds.

I think my favourite 'Northern' term is nichchem - I think that is how it might be spelt - meaning brainless. The first ch as in loch, the second is pronounced as k as it is the same derivation as chemistry.

A chem, as legend would have it, is the writing - or inscribing - put into the head of a golem to make it active.

Call me a Gowk! 7 outta 10 but all a guess all except Sleekit. I knew this one as we had a couple of kilt nights at the now defunct Sleekit Badger in Dunnville.

I got 6

I hardly believe this: 9 of 10 correct, and only two of the ten had I ever encountered before. If I had guessed that well in thermodynamics I'd have pulled an "A" instead of a "D".
