Aussie Slang

Aussies say some of the craziest phrases, and if you know me, I am a sucker for cheesy one-liners, corny jokes and funny phrases!! I am going to keep updating this as I hear more, so check back!

How ya going? - in place of how are you. First time I heard this I thought, 'OK, where am I going or how am I doing'

Silly as a possum in a wheely bin.

Frog in a sock - think of how crazy a frog would go if you put him in a sock, just go nuts.

Righteo. - Agreed.

Fair shake of the sauce bottle - still figuring this one out...

Fair Dinkum - Are you kidding me?

'rang-er - you know like an orangutan. Red head AKA Ginger

Reckon - they say this all the time... so, I probably will too when I return. For us it sounds real southern, right?

Heap - not like a pile of something, more like 'that's heaps cool' or 'there's going to be heaps of people going'

G'ed up - really excited about something... maybe its like geared up?

Prawn - it would be like a Butter Face, you know, you like everything but her face. A prawn is a shrimp and they have an ugly face, but you love they're body, it's tasty! In conclusion, a girl with a hot body and a ugly face.
