About This Quiz

How do you feel when we say "moist?" Does it make you giggle or does it make you gag? While we don't often pay attention to the words we like more than others, we certainly know which words we dislike. After you fill us in on the words you don't like to use, we'll know exactly how old you are. 

While some people love the word "bae," it makes others roll their eyes so hard they might choke on one someday. No matter where you stand on the words we present to you, you will leave little clues about yourself. Make your choices carefully and truthfully because failing to do so could lead in an inaccurate guess. We would feel just terrible if we were to accidentally age you by 70 years or so. 

Throughout this quiz, we will ask you about some words that you might or might not use. Depending on how you respond to them, your maturity level will show. From there, we'll be able to correlate your preferred vocabulary with your age. Then, we'll take our best guess.

You don't have to love the word "quiz" to have a good time here. We would hate for you to miss out! Let us guess how old you are by using the words you do not like against you.
