Wanna hit up the bottle-o and then go get some cheeky nandos?

Why are shoes ‘Chubbers’? Seems weird.

I’m going to start using “upsy stairsy” and hope it catches on.

I wonder how much of that is regional or just “tourist” slang, cause I watch a fair bit of Australian tubes, and know a few folk in Australia and I don’t think most of those terms are current or in use.

I knew an Aussie clarinet player (and avid beer drinker) who would down a few and then “go have a slash.” Which means take a leak. I never heard anybody before or since use the term.

I don’t know, but I do know that I’m forever calling sweatshirts, “Sleeve Urwins” from now on.

Spent a month in five different Australian cities last year, the only one I heard on that list was Mate.

The rest of those are fake.

I’m pretty sure the only one that isn’t made up is mate.

Ozzy Osbourne’s biography referenced having a slash. Loved it.

My Australian friend sometimes speaks of having a “chat to” someone instead of a “chat with” someone. I can’t say he’s wrong, but it sounds funny to my ear.
I haven’t asked him about drop bears yet.

You’d be correct. This list is pure noob bait...

Yet another example of Australians trying to make Americans in Australia sound/look/seem stupider than they are otherwise already perceived to be.
Although it could also be a Canadian conspiracy...

I’ve heard “freshie” used as a term for 18-year-olds who’ve finished school and are going to the beach for the weekend to get shitfaced. So I guess not far from “tourist”.

Yeah when a bloke’s on the bloody piss he’s gonna be fangin for a slash sooner or later.
The real shocker is that we use c**t in lieu of absolutely everything.
