How to play

Think you could pass the theory test for Laois slang? Twenty questions a go, mostly Laois words, topped up with slang from the neighbouring counties, picked at random every time. Get 17 or more right and you're a fully licensed speaker.

  • What does it mean? Pick the right meaning.
  • Posh English: Lawrence Muck has translated something, or read out a meaning. Pick the slang he means.
  • Fill in the blank: finish the real example.

There's no time limit, but quick answers earn more. Every right answer is worth 50 pints, plus a speed bonus of up to 50 more: the full bonus if you answer within about 3 seconds, falling away to nothing at 20 seconds. Wrong answers score nothing. The clock pauses if you switch tabs.

Pass and you get a Full Laois Slang Licence with your name, county, pints and (if you like) your photo on it. Fail and it's a Preliminary Licence, L plates and all. Either way you can save the card as a picture and share it.

Every go is a fresh random twenty, so you can resit as often as you like. Pick another test up top: the All Ireland one, or any of the 32 counties.

Nothing is saved about you. Your name and photo only draw the card and are forgotten when you leave or reload the page. Your current test and your stats only last while this tab is open, and none of it is sent anywhere. The one exception: if you tap “Feck off, I'm right” after a wrong answer, that question, your pick and anything you write go to us anonymously so we can fix the entry. This is a bit of craic, not a real licence or test.
