Aussie slang & sayings !
 

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

"thats not a knife, this is a knife"

Thanks mate!
 

But Bilbo, I think somebody’s been pumping sunshine UP your “arse”.;)

*LOL*

Pantyfanatic
 

Please don't get Bilbo's hopes up.

Sharni, "Dry as a dead dingo's donger"?

Bazza McKenzie nostalgia week?

"Put another Shremp on the barbie"

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?

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*


He irritates the shit out of me...*LOL*

Sharniqua

"I'm going to drop the clutch"

Not an Aussie, but I find myself rooting for the crocs...
Damn, there goes another Paul Hogan ad on tv...

Wonder if this is Aussie Slang????? :D :D

Bit late with this BUUUUT !!! Steve is a big fake. Watch how the cameras work and u will find no smooth control.
He is as useless as a " two bob watch" or " TITS on a BULLFROG "

ummm, hmmmm......cameras work, smooth control....plz explain...as u do dont make any sense to me...

Well TDK....When a film run is being made with a vid recorder it is normal to make sure that all the props are in the same place when a scene is being faked.. E.G. position of boat relative to trees...position of his woman relative to boat... position of lantern relative to him, boat, woman etc. as they splice the tape together you will notice jumps in scenes , and a lot of props out of place.
A mate of mine on the Sunshine Coast Q'land has attended some of the film shoots and can confirm what most Q'landers know.

Would that happen to be that Steve the Crocodile Man is really bloody irritating...*LOL*

Call me dense and throw me at a panelbeater, but did

this thread chuck a U-ie I missed?

No, just didn't read back far enough.

Advantage of living in an isolated backwater where our

rangers pull over a hundred crocs out of Darwin harbour

a year. Crocs are reality, not props for some showman.

Help the ignorant!
 

I check this thread regularly trying not to leave this world as stupid as when I got here.]:o I normally work through picking up a little……….. BUT….. will someone please translate this? :confused:

thumbs up for the Croc Hunter!
 

Well, I respectfully disgaree with Steve Irwin's q-land mates. I happen to think that the Croc Hunter is absolutely fabulous. I love his gig! I'm just waiting for 'ol Agro to get a piece of him one of these days!

OK, so I reek of being an American...oh well! ;)

This leads me to my fav Aussie word...courtesy of that great Q-lander Steve Irwin...CRIKEY!

Second would be TUCKER...hey, a man's got to eat.

Third would be FOSTER's...a definite Aussie contribution to partying!

*belch*

rabbit

Bump!!

Dont understand us....ask here *LOL*

We use the word "reckon" here in the Southern U.S. as well.

ah reckon we use it mighty often, Scarlett, iff'n it's fittin'.

Yep.....works for me as well.........


Keep thinking what he would be like in bed.........LMAO!!!!!!!!!
I can just imagine it........."now look at this little beauty".......LMAO!!!!!!!

Re: thumbs up for the Croc Hunter!
 

Steve Irwin makes me cringe but he is a shrewd operator cos the lingo is layed on so thick to impress you gullable yanks , haha.

CRIKEY is hasn't been heard in public in oz since 1968 and FOSTERS is piss weak swill that no self respecting aussie would touch.It's marketed at the tourists for the tourists cos they don't know any better.If you want the taste of real aussie beer , go find yourself a VB (Victoria Bitter) ...... now THAT'S beer. BUUUURRRRRPPP!!

:D

PERFECT timming! :D

I thought I was starting to get the hang of that down under utter, but had one run over me the other day here that had me so befuddled, I didn’t know what to ask. lmao

I’ll be back at ya as soon as I find the dingo jargon.;)


(*now where did I put something I can’t read?:confused: )

what a beaut resurected thread :)

Steve Irwin does lay it on thick and he is regarded by a great percentage of the Australian population as a wanker, still he is getting wealthy at it.

A piece of slang that is fairly uniquely used in tasmania rather than the rest of the country is rummun or originally "rum one" meaning a quirky character.

i laughed at a previous post here where someone was rooting for the crocodiles. Rooting is slang for fucking in Aus so that would be a very interesting spectacle :)

I think you should start throwing random thoughts at us from the Dictionary you showed us.... Please?

Educate the ignorant :D

I guess that makes me an autumn leaf then....might have to use that as a nick somewhere else... :D


Lets see....This autumn leaf is getting into the fart sack until sparrow fart. I got that right? sounds awfully funny to say though.

I have never heard of any of those and I live here!

LMAO @ SuccubusKitty & Catch22:C

Only this year have I become familiar with one Aussie phrase that I’ll long remember. Has to do with Christmas trees and decorations.;) LMAO (right BilBo?)

Grumbleguts- Your “rummun” is a new one for me, but the best are the ones we have a total different meaning for. “Rooting” also has a hunting or looking for something meaning for us Yanks. I like yours better.;)

Loved SuccubusKitty good night sentence although “fart sack” is the same for us.:)

Sharni- ”Bitser” is totally new to me but “bawdy” means lewd or rude up-over. “Blimey” isn’t new but I believe most Americans associate it with the Britts.

Now we have to recall some of the words we have laughed about in our IM’s and get them on here.:)

(I haven’t found that Oz encryption yet. Had to find when you don’t have a clue what it was in reference too.) LOL :
