23 Funny Aussie Slang Examples That Need Translation To English

Hm, there was a continuation of this post where someone explained that Australians love to f**k with tourists by making up b******t Aussie thing, like the phrase in this post. Any Australians here who can comment if this is true?

Nope. Have never heard that phrase. Unless its a FNQ (far north Queensland) thing but even then. No.

I don't care if it's authentic or not! It's brilliant and I can hardly wait to use it.

This is definitely a real saying.

I've heard that from Margot Robbie on The Graham Norton Show. :D Look it up on youtube, but you have to look for an interview with Alicia Vikander (that part is also brilliant).

Oh

We call them thongs in Canada too. America is weird.

oh

I grew up in Canada calling flip flops " thongs" too

Im American, i knew wht they was talking bout tho

How the hell do know if you are ordering chips or fries then???

Cheezles are like Cheetos, only shaped like a ring so you can put them on your finger. They. Are. Delicious.

I am australian but cheezles are always cheezles

So Snoop Dogg speaks a little bit Australian? "Gimme some Chizzles for dinzle..." => "I want some chips for dinner"... Or whatever, I'm bad at Snoop talking!

honestly whats with these fancy shmancy names, theyre chips mate

Mate, is more of a cant remember your name so I'll call you mate. Old mate is some random guy

So Aussies are like Londoners then?

that last one, is 100% correct. The closer the friend, the worse the insult allowed. ;)

If I called any of my friends the C word they would not be my friends. Honestly if this is actually happening ugh.

I can confirm that all of this is true!

This kinda of language is really from the outback woop woop and even then it's extreme. Most people living in the major cities, regional and country areas don't speak like this...unless they're visiting from the outback woop woop (redneck) areas. I lived in Aus for over 30 yrs and I've never heard anyone speak like this.

mate i loved doin skids in the arvo

I understood most of that.

I don't see any problem understanding this.

I'm Australian, and I love the internets take on us. It is sooooo wrong no one at least in my generation or in the generations I have met speak like this at all. I mean we see Americans as well... anyways and English as I guess more posh or something like that and Japanese as serious and sweet. Society has way to many stereotypes!

It comes from Track Suit to Track Suit Pants, to trackies for track suit and dacks for pants. In Australia we tend to shorten or lengthen according to the day of the month or the minute of the day :P

Tracky daks are part of our national dress code. A strong cultural icon, trakies are a signal to others that you just woke up, have the flu or are having a chill one. A regular attire in Australia, tracky dams are usually worn with sheepskin boots or thongs. 80% of Australians remove all clothing when entering their homes and chuck on some tracky daks.

In New Zealand they fall them fatpants LOL

We call sweatpants joggers or trakkies in the U.K.

Put on your anzug and get out to play. We call them - anzug.
