ZAGREB’S SLANG  Dragi purgeri, if I’m wrong about about any slang term, please correct me :) The slang terms above are used in Slavonia for sure. I’m not sure about Zagreb, but the majority is. The following terms though, aren’t common in Slavonia so I put them under the title “Zagreb’s slang”.

However, my fellow Croatians (especially Dalmatians), add more !!
