What does it mean to be well spoken?

I was described to be "well spoken" - by a bunch of new guys we met on a nights out. What does that mean? The question of "did you goto public school" also came up. I rarely use slang, and prefer to get the word choice right when I speak. This is surely normal? Could it be something to do with the accent? :confused:
