We also still have a lot of ~regional~ slang too. People my way might still say something's 'well pants' (bad), declare 'that's the badger' (right, that's what i was trying to say) or that my snazzy new t-shirt is 'gert-lush' (fantastic).

Wouldn't mean much to some people outside the county, let alone out the country! And that's just from one small area in my county. There's several other dialects too, all with their own slang conventions and trends.
