What are the best Australian words and their meanings?
I’ll get the ball rolling to show what I mean:
Manchester – bed linen
Hooroo – hello in Queensland
From Neighbours, I’ve heard:
chook = chicken
crook = ill
beaut = great
bonzer = great
cark it = to stop working or die
dunny = (outside) toilet
rack off! = get lost!
Salvos = salvation army
stickybeak = nosy person
stoked = very pleased
pash = snog
rapt = pleased
lemon = something faulty
tinny = can of beer
tucker = food
snags = sausages
daggy = naff
daks = trousers
But, after searching on the net i found a phrase I love:
Cadbury : a cheap drunk (a glass and a half)
