Here are some Aussie things I have collected.
Firstly, the sayings.....I have only realised these were not global from the "duh?" i get as a response from any non australian people.
"I'll ring ya"
Simply, ringing someone is calling them, you know a telephone, its not as bad as you were thinking huh?
"I've had jack of it"
I'm sick of it!
"Wow they're rowdy tonight"
So rowdy can be boisterous, but it can also mean horny :)
"It's rooted"
Its broken...but this word has so many uses.....
"Oh man, Im rooted"
Im really tired
"He just wants a root"
(Well as all men do) He wants to have sex....
"ya dag"
So this one is hard to explain. Its a friendly term like you would say "u nut" but don't ever look in the dictionary for the meaning..its is completely different!
And ofcourse clothing can be considered "daggy" too, or furniture and that sort of thing...is very hard to define this word!
"Loo or dunny"
The toilet
"Jumper"
Is what Americans refer to as a sweater.
"This arvo"
This afternoon
And of course the differences.....
A fanny is NOT your back side(more like the front)....so dont ever tell me your fanny is sore and wonder why i cry laughing ok?
Thongs - NOT what you're thinking, so get you're mind of women's underwear! Basically you call them "flip flops".
This is a postcard I saw in Melbourne. Very stereotypical, but I thought it was pretty darn funny.
