Explanation

'Patois' refers to a local dialect or form of speech that is not standard or formal, often associated with rural or regional communities. It can mean the unwritten, informal speech of a particular region. 'Local' best captures this meaning among the options. A lumberyard is a place, and slacker means a lazy person.
