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

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.
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

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 ??

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.
