We use the first lot you put up too Bashy, some of the second. Never heard peddy for petrol, sounds almost like a pedo eek. We just say Goon for casks of wine.

lmao yes, you just may need to Emma hahaha

I read watering hole-pubic hair! ? I need to get my eyes tested!

I love that a lot of these manage to get even more shortened where I am ?

-arv for arvo

-cob for cobber

-chockers for chock a block

- dag for daggy

- dodge for dodgy

- veg for relax

- olds for oldies

And then the newer slang terms like

- nob for d**k head

- peddy for petrol (or gas in America)

- grog for alcohol

- goony for cask wine

Lol. Such a civilised country we are

I wish Americans were this cool....

Gotta luv STRAYA' haha

We use a lot of these in the uk too.

Eta: a few...

daggy, durry, servo, bottle'o, mate, tucker, knackered, brekkie, crook and dodgy is what I say a lot and my family. We don't say things like sheila or "g'day mate" though.

I'm australian born and raised. Some of these i've never heard ? i'm only 20 though.

hahah, you'll have your kids talking like an aussie in no time.

It's amazing how different we all are with our lingo lol

I'm going to using some of these around the house ??

hahaha wonder what the looks would be if ya use it outloud KingKoopa lmao

Most of our slang comes from our english ancestors I think Caitlyn :)

Different huh Chelsea. Amazing sometimes with the differences in lingo etc. I get confused with other countries too though. Mostly I quickly google so no one realises I'm just a poor old aussie trying to keep up hahahaha

This is pretty interesting. ?

The only one I knew was bloke and that's bc you use it, cenedra ? I like it, I feel like a bad ass when I say bloke in my mind ?

My English inlaws use these sayings all the time. I used to get confused, but after awhile you get the jist of it lol

Me too! I actually started watching prisoner again last year when it went off for a bit. God it was break through for the prison shows but damn it was corny ?

I can't wait for Wentworth to come back on!

Will save this list for when I watch my Australian jam, Wentworth! ?

? lmao they all do. I think more Mick Dundee, but even he is a little out there too. I sometimes hear Aussie actors and think they are banging it on and sound so fake ?

Doesn't help when they get a Kiwi to play an Aussie in a movie. I'm like wtf man! They don't sound like us ??

Haha I think Steve Irwin is as close as I can get! ??

Public bar is the main bar of a pub Zac. I just call em pubs too. I call my girl a dag at times still too ??

Yes whatishell. I crack up every time I read you guys talking about a fanny. Or even a thong. Thongs are worn on feet here ?

Lol hopefully not a Steve Irwin one Vangogh ?

I thinks it's worth the visit momma. Very different to the U.S. that's for sure. Although I do want to visit there oneday

Watering hole is a bar?

I've never heard that before, we just call it a pub

A fanny is a vagina?! We use that word for butt ???? thanks CeNedra!

Op, every time I read your responses I read them with an accent lol. It just sounds cool in my mind. I love it when you write "bloke." Although, I'm Hispanic and have an accent of my own and I've never met anyone from Australia lol.

I use daggy all of the time

Very interesting! I would so love to visit Australia one day.

:) this made me smile. I miss Australia so much.
