AUSTRALIAN Slang

T

Teddybrae

I was watching National Television here ... the Governments station ... and the programme was paying respect to Firefighters who were involved in the massive bushfires that burned here recently.

Anyway this Guy on camera was starting to get excited as he recalled the moment his farm almost burnt down ... and then the wind changed.

He said: "When that happened I thought a Fairy had flown down and kissed my dick"!

Now, I 've lived in Oz for more than 50 years and love the language and I 've knocked about a bit but I 've never heard that term.

Our National Broadcaster is quite liberal, and it was after 9pm, so the words weren't bleeped out, but they didn't show them in the teletext ...

Funny expression, eh?

Aussies certainly have a way with the English language. Us Kiwis give em a lot of shit, but how could you dislike a country that comes up with gems like that. :D

Couldn't give you more rep so I 'll do this instead. What a laugh! Cockney slang seems a lot like Aussie slang. Thinks: that's right!!! Early Australians were significantly made up of London criminals ... and the tradition lives on.
And , er ... Hope yer plates of meat didn't get sore ...

I wasn't a firefighter, but I set quite a few bushes on fire when I was younger!
These days I like the way that girls keep 'em shaved...

When i was in NZ 35 years ago, I liked some of the words they used..

I asked where I could find a phone booth...The guy looked at me like I was a nut, until he realized I wanted a "phone box"...

Also "car park".. i figured out pretty quick that the guy meant a parking lot..

I heard of a Yank who moved to NZ when he was in high school...
He got a huge smile on his face when the cute girl sitting at the desk in front of him, turned around and asked him if he had a rubber...
