In this week's installment of Slang This!, a member of the National Puzzlers League tries to separate the real slang terms from the fake ones. Try this one: Which of the following expressions really is a British synonym for the willies, the heebie jeebies or a similar kind of "nervous freakout"? Would that be the belching withers or the screaming abdabs? And which of the following terms is Australian slang for "people from the United States"? Is it septics or songbirds? (The Aussies are all rolling their eyes at this obvious answer.) This is part of a complete episode.
