Bad news: You did worse at guessing '30s slang than Matt Bomer did. HOWEVER, your latest acting role didn't take place in the 1930s so Matt had a slight advantage over you. Maybe just go and "jelly ass" these results out!

You have VERY little knowledge of '30s slang!

So you're not the BEST at guessing '30s slang but you did get some right! Plus, you're on par with Matt Bomer's knowledge which is definitely something to brag about!

Close, but you're not quite a "hot tomato" at guessing '30s slang!

Wow, are you a time traveler from the '30s? Because you absolutely nailed this quiz! You could teach a thing or two to Matt Bomer!

Dang! You're quite the "hot tomato!"
