В 2010 году BBC провели исследование молодежного языка и выяснили, что в разных частях Великобритании сленг сильно отличается. Для иллюстрации различий они дали одну и ту же фразу подросткам в разных частях страны и спросили, как бы они сказали ее на своем собственном сленге.
Была выбрана фраза: «John's girlfriend is really pretty. But she got mad with him the other day because he wanted to hang out with his friends rather than take her to the cinema. She got really angry and stormed off. It was very funny.» .
Перевод: «Подруга Джона очень симпатичная. Но она разозлилась на него, потому что он захотел провести время с друзьями, а не пойти с ней в кино. Она разозлилась и ушла в ярости. Это было смешно».
Вот как эту фразу сказали подростки из разных школ:
1) Общеобразовательная школа Bishopston, Суонси, Уэльс.
" John’s missus is flat out bangin'. But she was tampin' the other day 'cause he bombed her out for the boys instead of going to the cinema. She… started mouthing. It was hilarious." .
2) Католическая школа HolyFamily, Кейли, Западный Йоркшир
" Jonny’s bird is proper fit and she got in a right beef the other day cos he’d rather chill with his mates than go to the cinema. She got stressed and did one. It was quality haha." .
3) Средняя школаPhoenix, западный Лондон.
" John’s chick is proper buff but she switched on her man the other day 'cos he wanted to jam with his bred’rins instead of taking her out to the cinema. She was proper vexed and dust out. It was bare jokes." .
4) Колледж Св. Сесилии, Лондондерри, СевернаяИрландия.
" John’s girlfriend is pure stunnin'. But she was ragin' cos he dogged her out of it to got to the pictures with his muckers. She pure went into one and booted. It was some craic." .
5) Школа Родбороу, Годалминг, Графство Суррей.
" John’s girlfriend is well fit. But… he wanna chill out wid his m8s rather than take her to the film. She got like well lairy and she legged it. LOL." .
Таким образом, можно проследить, как отличаются одни и те же слова в сленге подростков из разных частей Великобритании.
