Aussie B Slang Two Aussie blokes caught the train too Brizzie. Brisvegas was the capital of the bananabender country. A place full of Bogan’s and Boogie- boards, and barbies on hot stinking days. While the men ate bikkies for brekkie, they watched as a bludger looking like a boomer walked into the boozer. Bluey looked at Banga and said “Bloody oat mate.”. Banga looked at Bluey and said “Bloody hell, right on” “That guy looked like a bushie from outback” Said Banga while blowing a bush oyster out his nose. “His got Buckley’s hope of getting a drink from in their. He should have gone to the bottle-o instead.” “Yeah but his built like a brick shi.. house” replied Bluey. "Its ok bluey, i just saw the booze bus just than, they'll pick him up"
I don't have any idea what half of those words mean. rocks - As in: That rocks!; means cool, awesome, amazing.
Yank or Yankee - Someone from the northern coutries of the US (for those of you that like to call all of us Yanks, that might make a southerner mad) mostly during the US civil war, when the northern or Union army were called Yankees by the southerners. By the way, the Union army won, incase you don't know. Rebel - Someone who fought for the Confederate army in the US Civil War, from the souther states. (Confederates - people from the south that fought against the Union army) Also: Someone who goes against the grain and isn't willing to conform; someone who does things their own way no matter what.
Yeah, but I thought I would give you the tip. I always pictured in my head, a rock solid southerner going over to England, and having someone call him a yank. Then the southerner going balistic, and beating the crap out of said Englishman. It was a very funny thought.
lol. my school is mostly hard-core rebels (even though i'm in ohio...anybody else confused?!) and believe me, someone calls them a yank and they would definitely regret it.
Aussie B Slang Two Aussie blokes (men) caught the train too Brizzie (Brisbane, capital of queensland). Brisvegas (Brisbane) was the capital of the bananabender (Queensland)country. A place full of Bogan’s (Rednecks) and Boogie- (boards 0 Like a surf board but square), and barbies (BBQ) on hot stinking days. While the men ate bikkies (Biscuits) for brekkie (Breakfast), they watched as a bludger (Lazy bum) looking like a boomer (Tall man, like big kangeroo) walked into the boozer (pub). Bluey (Red heair man) looked at Banga (usually construction worker) and said “Bloody oat [absolutly, I kid you not, take my word]mate.”. Banga looked at Bluey and said “Bloody hell [Your right, jeez], right on” “That guy looked like a bushie [Country folk, old timer] from outback” Said Banga while blowing a bush oyster [Snot] out his nose. “His got Buckley’s hope [No chance] of getting a drink from in their.

"Its ok bluey, i just saw the booze bus [Police car] just than, they'll pick him up" __________________
Thanks for the definitions there Speedy. My hub gets pissed that the rebs lost. I would be a union supporter. Needless to say that if we had meet during the civil war we would have ended each other. But we are happy married. Life is a wonderful thing!
Right now Speedy is in the lead, having the most slang definitions. I have counted, roughly, 41. EVEN MORE THAN ME AWWWW!
Same in Aus. Interestingly enough, the Aussie slang 'pom' or 'pommy', which is now slightly derogatory of those that hail from England, originated as a term English immigrants used to refer to themselves. It was, in fact, an acronym: P.O.M.E. - which stood for Proud of Mother England. The Aussie slang that Speedy has demonstrated is commonly and collectively referred to as 'ocker', the most famous of our true blue, ocker Aussies being Steve Irwin. Most of the slang I actually use is gathered from the world 'round, rather than traditional Ocker - I've even found myself using words like 'canna' and 'didna', particularly after watching a Billy Connoly show, or summat.
It's strange what we pic up from other cultures when we hear them or see them on TV. I have found myself repeating stuff I hear. It is also interesting that some of the slang means similar things in different countries.
All I can contribute without reading all the other replies (I only use the most common slang, I can't stand stuff like "bling bling" or "off the hook" or "sick") is a term used in northern Michigan. A "fudgie" is a tourist of the most stereotypical, annoying sort. So named for their habit of going to the beautiful, historic Mackinac Island and eschewing the wonderful natural landmarks and lovely buildings and intriguing history of the place just so they can buy some fudge and perhaps stop by the Grand Hotel, take a few snapshots, then go home. Stupid fudgies. That's all I got. :redface:
Shmammmered and ridonkulous. I've only ever heard Canadians use these. Shmammered means very drunk, and ridonkulous is used for the most ridiculous things you can think of, or things that are completely out of this world and unexpected.
