Aussie Slang

"Howyagoen mate" or "g'day mate!" is a great place to start!

Aussies are very well known for the use of our Australian slang

For the non Australian it can be some what confusing. It can also be a fabulous lot of fun. Over the past few years a number of websites have sprung up dedicated to Australian Slang.

The slang developed from the early Australian settlement days and has stayed with us through time. Not only do Australians use slang, we have a unique accent that is very recognisable around the world. Most people will remember, from the television commercial with a famous Australian Mr. Paul Hogan, the statement he made, "I'll just put another shrimp on the Barbie"!! Of course he was talking about the Bar-B-Que not the doll.

You will have fun here learning how the true Aussie speaks.

"Now go off ere an enjoyyaself,
grab ya mate or ya sheila and hava SQUIZ AROUND"

Translation:- "Now enjoy yourself by looking at our PAGE OF AUSTRALIAN SLANG. Show
a friend, a girl maybe, and have look around at the site"
