Aussie slang & sayings !
 
A some other countries already know....us Aussies have a language all our own ;) We seem to have this habit of adapting words from other languages to make our own.....and our as for our sayings...well there we really seem to lose some ppl...:D

So i thought i'd start up this thread so that if anyone hears an Oz saying or word....they can come here and have an Aussie try to explain it....and i do mean try...some of the words even we dont understand...*LOL*

My favorite word is "Feral" and i use it all the time...eg: Those kids are feral!....jeez we had a feral weekend..

Favorite saying...hmmmm..."I'm drier than a dead dingos donger"

Just what I was looking for!
 
Thank you dear. I’m just a poor, dumb Westside Irish kid. I need all the help I can get!:(

Love the “dead dingo’s donger”.

Still not sure about the “feral”? Should I see that as positive or negative? Both kids and weekends can be either.:confused:

Clarify for me please. We use “flash lights”, SOME people use “torches”. Do you have “lanterns”?:) :)

After getting up of the floor I've decided that I cannot let an opportunity go by.....


The correct response to your query Panty would have to be:

We Aussies do not have any of those, because being Down Under........the sun shines out of our asses...LOL..:D :D :D

Sharni 12-04-2001 03:26 AM

LOL@Bilbo

Pantyfanatic.....we call them torches and flash lights :D

Please don't get Bilbo's hopes up.

I got so confused when I first moved to Adelaide by the following:

"flat out"
"Rocked up"
"goodonya" (for those of us in North America - good on you)

Slang that stuck:

"Sweet as!"
"heaps" (as in "heaps good friends")
"reckon"

Fun thread!!! Cheers big ears!

PS - I'm curious how the Aussies feel about Steve Erwin...a.k.a The Crockadile Hunter?

Bilbo 12-06-2001 06:42 PM

Crikey!!!!!
 
Sorry don't feel much for the guy at all!...lol

Steve!!! The all mighty croc hunter!!!
 
All I can say about him is HE IS NUCKING FUTS!!!!


Anybody who would jump on a croc ....in a mud hole... in complete darkness.... cause his lantern went out, can put his boots (what's left of them;) ) under my bed anytime!! :D :D ;)

"Dry as a dead dingo's donger"? is a round about way of saying that your thirsty....*L*
