h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Slang is widely used, it cant be helped. There are also nicknames, which are not slang in itself, but instead they are just strange words used to describe people or objects.
However, where I live in Hereford the adults do not use slang, instead they use their accent. For example the phrase "Where are you going" has turned into "were ya goiiiin" with a slight raise in pitch on the last syllable of the sentence. I think that this happpens where ever it is you are, unless its Hertfordshire in which case there are no accents for some perculiar reason.
This accented slang is just as hard to understand as normal word slang. If, for example, anyone goes to Glasgow and tries to understand the language they will pass out from all the effort!

Then we get to cockney ryming slang, now there I get stuck...
