G'day, I'm a true blue Aussie, and here are some of the most common every day slang words you'll hear us Aussies popping into the conversation! We regularly substitute English words for slang, so even if you speak English you may be confused or amused at the sentences we put together. There is more slang than these words we use in our everyday life too, as sometimes we will use slang just so we can shorten a sentence! It's not that we don't like a good chin wag (conversation); Aussies for the most part are friendly but we're also often up front and straight-forward so it suits us - we even shorten words when when we describe someones profession. For example, a Brick Layer becomes a "Brickie" just like a Truck Driver is a "Truckie". We do tricky things with our mates names too - our friend Dave becomes Dave-O and Robert becomes Robbo, but Ben becomes Benny and Michelle becomes Shelly... And you need to be careful when using our slang words yourself in a sentence, as sometimes the same words will mean something different depending on the tone of voice. For example, if you say the words "Far Out" it can mean something is fantastic! Or it can mean you think something is really bad news! It's the same deal with the word "Crikey!". |
