Aussie nicknames

January 29 2013

The thread on Aussie slang had me thinking of nicknames we use and, I think, maybe unique to Australians. Some of my favourites are: Bluey for a redhead. Stretch for a tall, skinny guy. Curly for a bald amn. Ankle, 3 foot lower than an arsehole. Rowdy for the quiet ones. Any more?

    I use to work with a guy with that nickname but we ended up shorting it to Spro Snowy for a grey haired man. Bloke, big fella, cobber, boss for guys you can't remember their names
