Slang - ESL worksheet by NandoGledson - Free Printable

Here's the correct matching of slang terms with their meanings, based on common English slang usage:

---

✔ Correct Matches:

1. AWESOME → ( ) AMAZING; WONDERFUL
*Explanation:* “Awesome” is used to describe something extremely good or impressive.

2. BITE ME! → ( ) GO TO HELL; GET OUT
*Explanation:* This is a rude, dismissive expression meaning “leave me alone” or “I don’t care.”

3. A BUZZ → ( ) DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES
*Explanation:* While “buzz” can mean excitement, in some contexts (especially older slang), “a buzz” can imply danger or alarm — but this is a stretch. More commonly, “buzz” means excitement or a feeling of energy. However, given the options, this is likely meant to match “dangerous; that scares” — though it’s not the most accurate. *(Note: This might be an error in the worksheet. Better match for “buzz” would be “excitement,” but that’s not listed.)*

⚠️ *Correction/Note:* Actually, “a buzz” doesn’t typically mean “dangerous.” Let’s reconsider — perhaps it’s meant to match “something that can be done easily”? No. Wait — maybe the intended match is “to enter in a party without invitation”? That’s “crash.” Hmm. Let’s look again.

Actually, upon second thought — “a buzz” often refers to a feeling of excitement or a mild high (e.g., “I got a buzz from the coffee”). But none of the definitions fit perfectly. Given the context and available choices, this may be misprinted. However, if we must choose, “dangerous; that scares” is least wrong? Not really. Let’s hold off and check others.

4. TO CRASH → ( ) TO ENTER IN A PARTY WITHOUT INVITATION
*Explanation:* “To crash a party” = to attend uninvited.

5. AN EYEFUL → ( ) PERSON OR THING VERY ATTRACTIVE
*Explanation:* “An eyeful” = something visually pleasing or striking — often attractive people or scenery.

6. HAIRY → ( ) DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES
*Explanation:* “Hairy” can mean risky or dangerous (e.g., “That was a hairy situation!”).

7. HUNK → ( ) A BIG, STRONG AND SEXUAL ATTRACTIVE MAN
*Explanation:* “Hunk” is slang for a physically attractive man.

8. THE LADS → ( ) BOYS, THE GROUP (MEN)
*Explanation:* “The lads” = guys, male friends or group (common in British English).

9. NO-BRAINER → ( ) SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE OR UNDERSTOOD EASILY
*Explanation:* A “no-brainer” is a decision or task so simple it requires no thought.

10. THE SACK → ( ) BED
*Explanation:* “Hit the sack” = go to bed.

🔁 Revised & Corrected Matching (based on standard slang):

Let’s fix #3 (“A BUZZ”) — it should probably match “something that can be done or understood easily”? No, that’s “no-brainer.”

Actually, “a buzz” is NOT typically “dangerous.” The best possible fit among the options is... none. But if we assume the worksheet meant “a buzz” = exciting or thrilling, and since “amazing; wonderful” is taken by “awesome,” perhaps there’s a mismatch.

Wait — let’s reassign logically:

- AWESOME → AMAZING; WONDERFUL ✔
- BITE ME! → GO TO HELL; GET OUT ✔
- A BUZZ → ??? — Perhaps it’s meant to be “exciting,” but not listed. Maybe the worksheet has an error. Alternatively, in some contexts, “buzz” can mean gossip or rumor — still not fitting. Let’s leave it as “DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES” for now, though it’s weak.
- TO CRASH → TO ENTER IN A PARTY WITHOUT INVITATION ✔
- AN EYEFUL → PERSON OR THING VERY ATTRACTIVE ✔
- HAIRY → DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES ✔ (This is correct!)
- HUNK → A BIG, STRONG AND SEXUAL ATTRACTIVE MAN ✔
- THE LADS → BOYS, THE GROUP (MEN) ✔
- NO-BRAINER → SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE OR UNDERSTOOD EASILY ✔
- THE SACK → BED ✔

So #3 “A BUZZ” is the only problematic one. Since “hairy” already matches “dangerous,” and “buzz” doesn’t fit any other definition well, perhaps the worksheet intended “a buzz” = “something that can be done easily”? No, that’s “no-brainer.”

💡 Best guess: The worksheet may have a typo. In many ESL materials, “a buzz” is sometimes incorrectly matched. But if forced to choose, “a buzz” could loosely relate to “dangerous” in phrases like “that gave me a buzz” (meaning adrenaline rush), which can be scary. So we’ll go with that.

✔ Final Correct Matching:

1. AWESOME → AMAZING; WONDERFUL
2. BITE ME! → GO TO HELL; GET OUT
3. A BUZZ → DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES *(least bad option)*
4. TO CRASH → TO ENTER IN A PARTY WITHOUT INVITATION
5. AN EYEFUL → PERSON OR THING VERY ATTRACTIVE
6. HAIRY → DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES *(Wait — conflict!)*

⚠️ Conflict Alert! Both “a buzz” and “hairy” are being matched to “dangerous; that scares.” That’s impossible.

Let’s resolve this:

- “Hairy” is definitely slang for dangerous/risky.
- “A buzz” is not. It’s more about excitement or a mild high.

So — what’s left? The only unused definition is “a telephone call” — does “a buzz” mean that? In old-fashioned slang, sometimes “give me a buzz” = call me. YES!

📞 “Give me a buzz” = call me on the phone.

So:

✔ CORRECTED MATCHING:

1. AWESOME → AMAZING; WONDERFUL
2. BITE ME! → GO TO HELL; GET OUT
3. A BUZZ → A TELEPHONE CALL *(“Give me a buzz” = call me)* ✔
4. TO CRASH → TO ENTER IN A PARTY WITHOUT INVITATION
5. AN EYEFUL → PERSON OR THING VERY ATTRACTIVE
6. HAIRY → DANGEROUS; THAT SCARES
7. HUNK → A BIG, STRONG AND SEXUAL ATTRACTIVE MAN
8. THE LADS → BOYS, THE GROUP (MEN)
9. NO-BRAINER → SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE OR UNDERSTOOD EASILY
10. THE SACK → BED
