Answer 1

Heaps here for you to learn - too many to list, you'll have a hoot reading them - Australian Slang Dictionary with unique Aussie phrases ...http://www.australianexplorer.com/slang/phrases.htm

Answer 2

Hahaha... the second answer is amusing, but it is NOT the way nice girls talk!! LOL. It's more the way working class men talk when women are not around... "She bangs like a dunny door in the wind" is a typical male boast which may be true or completely untrue!

However the huge numbers of non-Anglo migrants who have come to Aus since WWII do not talk like the old-style working class Aussie, whatever their class, and you will encounter a LOT of these people when you visit. (You WILL visit, and you'll probably end up emigrating - I'm not kidding. There are lots of Americans here married to Aussies.)

Why not buy a book online such as "Aussie Talk: the Macquarie Dictionary of Australian Colloquialisms" and read up on the subject. You will definitely get a laugh out of it, and learn a lot about Australia too. "Let Stalk Strine" is a famous, very funny, but slightly outdated booklet on Aussie slang. This Wikipedia link is also useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_slang

Unfortunately most young Aussies these days talk just like Californians, although with an Aussie accent. : "I'm so over that" etc. We are also being affected by British slang from watching TV shows like "The Bill" (I don't know if they show that in the US?). We're fond of "It all went pear-shaped" at the moment! "Toe-rag" as an insult is pretty popular too.

But people of all classes do say distinctively Aussie things like "No worries" and "G'day", and we call party-poopers "wowsers".

By the way, we do NOT call people "*ssholes"! We call 'em "*rseholes", as in "AAAhhs-holes"... with no "r". We're very fond of the word "bastard", again with no "r", and the first syllable rhymes with "AAAhse"!!

So, try telling your boyfriend that so-and-so, that AAAhs-hole, is a real wowser, that bloody bAAstad really gets on my goat, he's a real tight-AAhse, I'm as mad as a cut snake about it, I'm beginning to think he's not all there, he's not the full quid, he's got a Kangaroo loose in the top paddock, that old codger's so cocky, he's really up himself, I'm really het up about it, I'd like to put the boot into him, give him the AArse, give him the finger, wring his neck, tell him to get stuffed, he's done sweet F.A., he's a bludger, a useless git, he's bitten off more than he can chew this time.....

Have fun!!

Answer 3

Lulu it depends on which part of Australia he is from. Oh by the way, well done zucchini!!! Made a morton out of yourself --- but I loved it! BTW morton = morton bay fig (a tree) means "gig". A gig is a ninny. Sorry Lulu I don't think I'm being much help. About as useful as a string bag full of shark f@rts
