Woop woop. - somewhere far away. Root - *Haha, look it up yourselves.* I wonder if any non-Aussie could eat Vegemite? I doubt it. I doubt if any AUSSIE could eat vegemite! *LOL* TN, I once knew an Aussie that could open a beer bottle with ANYTHING! Simply amazing, those from Oz. open a beer bottle with ANYTHING!I think it must be in their genes. Stone the flamin' crows, you septics can't even get strine right! Half of that I've never heard of. An I used to think ya was a bunch of bonzer sheilas, too right I did. Anyhow, ow'yagoinmate oright? Beudy bottler ps. Pray pardon ones' use of phonetics.. Doin' bloody beut, mate, taaah. *LOL* There's only two I have never heard before. Bail up and cobber. Oz is a big place though. There's a big difference between east and west Oz too. (East is east, west is best.) *LOL* Bail up was used by bushrangers (outlaws) in the 1800s, while holding up stages, some not far from where I live. Cobber, is more English, but once upon a time most of us were English. I've only heard Aussies, (pronounced ozzies), use it in movies, mostly American movies. Mate, which means the same, is quite common. These days our once colorful language is full of Americanisms. It's enough to drive a man to drink! I live in the east, where we have been civilized for several decades at least now. Nothing in the west but cattle, crocodiles, and lots of wildflowers. Also, there are more wild camels in Australia than in the Middle East, mostly in the western half of Oz. Just a little trivia. These days our once colorful language is full of Americanisms. It's enough to drive a man to drink!Pfhttt! Who are you fooling vk2? Those Aussies will use the most convoluted, nonsensial excuses to have a drink! But I love them anyway. cattle, crocodiles, and lots of wildflowers.And Merinos and beautiful sunsets, but NO funnel webs. There are worse things than funnel webs, some of my ex girlfriends for instance, I have found two of them in my bedroom so far, and a red bellied black snake too. Our big centipedes are the worst, ran over one in the tractor once, nearly rolled it over. Off to the rubbity soon for a piss up. Hooroo. wowser -- a puritanical, blue-nosed, do-gooderNew one on me. Don't suppose there are that many in Oz? Is it the same male and female? Blue-nosed. Is that the royalty blue or the Democrat blue? This list appears to have been written by a Pom, certainly not an Aussie. Wowser generally refers to someone who doesn't drink, though the rest of the description is certainly implied. Can be male or female. Just a couple more. Dingbat or Drongo = Fool Not the full quid = Crazy Galah = Fool Thick as two short planks = not very bright Notso = as above Old rhyming slang. Tit for tat = Hat Noah's Ark = Shark Trouble and strife = Wife eg. If ya don't dip ya tit for tat to ya trouble and strife, she'll chuck ya to the Noah's arks. And someone with red hair is called Blue or Bluey. Go figure! Debbyski I also knew an Aussie who could open a beer with a blade of grass; but they could not hang with the big boys. They ate macaroni salad, hobo beans, and did not know what a rooster bullet was; still wet behind the ears if you know what I mean.LOL Had to teach them to swim and fish, maybe that was the other way around. |
