Aussie slang and sayings - What the?

January 27 2013

When I was in a book shop in Europe I came across a travels guide book for Australian language. Well that just cracked me up, what is that I thought, Aussies are so easy to understand. It was a language guide book for understanding Australians and our slang. The funniest thing I ever saw. Did you know that 'servo' isn't actually a word? I didn't until a few years ago. LMAO. Although I think we are getting better at not using these abbreviations any more I think. Or am I just completely ocker?Some of the examples I remember: Lippy = lipstickGazza = GaryShazza = SharonChook =chickenDunny = toiletarvo = afternoonchuck a youi = make a you turn onya = Good on youWe also have some great sayings, such as "bangs like a dunny door", "Ugly as a hat full of assholes", I often use "black as a bat's ass"Do you still use abbreviations or have funny sayings? What is the funniest slang you have heard or maybe something that has made you stop and think, what the?

    I still think it is funny when I here "Throw another shrimp on the barbie" and I think, yeah that old chestnut. When foreigners tell me that line (which is usually after they mention Crocodile Dundee) I have to tell them "you know we don't actually say that" and besides we call them prawns! A mate once said to me sincerely "Don't go the raw prawn with me", I nearly lost it laughing as it is funny when people use the sayings on me.   Some classics include:   Strewth & Crikey Beaut Ute Cossies Budgie smugglers or Togs Abo, Blackfella & Whitefella Cuppa with a Bickie Garbo Sparky Pozzy Clacker or Clackers (Personal favourite) Bugger, Bulldust & Bollocks Fremantle Doctor or "the doctor is in" (Sandgroper saying for sea breeze) Schoolies Jackaroo & Jilleroo Pushie (bike) Smoko Spag bowl & Snags Willy willy Digger or Diggers (God bless them all) Bottle-o & Coldie Trackie Dacks   Other sayings I here are:   Catchya tha sarvo I am Busier than a Bosnian Bricklayer (90's saying) Flat out like a lizard drinking Crack us open a coldie love Gone Troppo or chucking a wobbly   Personal favourites:   Boondy or Sand-Boondy Trough Lolly (found in a urinal) Doco   I like Servo too

    That would be, "Ugly as a hat full of arseholes" and "black as a bat's arse".   One that we use over here is "Kurnell" because it's way over on the coast. As in "Far Kurnell".

    A man who is having sexual intercourse with a woman/man on the beach. He then pulls out his penis, dips it in the sand, and then goes back to the sexual intercourse. Eg; Gary gave Jill a battered sav.- Posted from rhpmobile

    I learnt most of my Aussie Slang from my students as well as the old show: "They're a Weird Mob". Surprisingly I don't hear slang as much these days over here as in New Zealand. Perhaps I need to get out of the city and go to the country. Playful, I have to say that I haven't heard of some of the terms you listed. Time to look it up on Urban Dictionary. Happy Australia Day to all. Hope you had a great day and have a fantastic long weekend. I love how we all look forward to long weekends :) Quoting 'playful4u' I still think it is funny when I here "Throw another shrimp on the barbie" and I think, yeah that old chestnut.

    When I was jackarooing in the NT you got a lot of old bushies with some awesome sayings: When something is expensive: "he bloody charges like a wounded bull" When a young bloke is trying to keep up with all the old blokes on the grog: "don't piss like a pup if you want to run with the by dogs mate" When it's cold: "It's as cold as a woman's heart boy" When you bugger something up: "Mate you've had a bloody Betty crocker" (bloody shocker) To a larger lady: "Once around her twice around the pub" "Put her straight on the truck mate" "She's been in good pasture" They are just a could of my favorites Countryboy x

Was on a trip with a few Aussies, Kiwis, Poms and 2 girls from the US. The Oz's and Kiwis were going on about how something was a shocker. The two US girls went bright red. We didnt get out of them the reason for going red until the end of the trip when one of them told us that back home a shocker is when you have "one finger in the pink the other in the stink". Havent had that confirmed but LMAO.

    me ol mate had a few roos short in the top paddock, but he was as honest as the day is long. Anyway... down on his luck a little he was with the arse of his strides hanging out. He was out waltzing matilda yonks ago, when he stuck his hand in the sky rocket to see if he still had a quid. He was on the wallaby for sure, and had his head in the clouds..and his thinking a million miles away His size twelves shot out from under him and he went arse over head. Cracked his noggin and put him out for the count. While he was out, a ruddy pile of bullants whipped up his jake the peg, and started chewin on his quoit. Poor blighter.. dancing around like a looney.. he pops a hoof on a joe blake that turns up and fangs him...   When i went to visit him.. I asked what he was up to... You know what he bloody said...? "Making a wigwam for a goose's bridle"   Bugger me.. yud think that seeings how many of these thingameejigs where made, you would bump into one every now and again eh? But Nah.. like rockin horse shit they are..   Me ol mate was called "Eighty mile Jack" But we called him "Seventy nine mile Jack" for short.

    Doin' ninety (full gallop on a horse) Just down the road a bit (at least 100 kilometres) Queer as a three pound note (weird or gay) That steel post is a bit heavy (steel lying down in the sun will burn you) A dohickey (like a whatsamacallit or thingameejig) Dead as a door knob Happy as a pig in mud Busted arsed old ringer   Six pack short of a carton Mad as a Mallee Bull He's done a Bourke and Wills (when someone got themselves lost, usually during a muster) Backa the Black Stump/ Bourke (middle of nowhere) I don't go that far on holidays (a long way) Better take a cut lunch (a long way) It's about a six pack trip (a measurement of distance) And one my Dad use to use, but no one knows where he got it from, when point out something I was looking for that was in plain sight. "Is that a block of flats or a mango tree?"

    Ya drongo. You're a bloody gallah. Numbskull. It's a dry argument in here (heard in pubs when service is particularly bad)
