Because it worked so well when an American tried to guess British slang, I asked the BuzzFeed US team to send me – a clueless British person – examples of regional American slang. Here are my attempts to guess what they mean.

Loads of these are pretty region-specific, it turns out, and confused lots of my American colleagues as well.
