Just some examplesīung/Bunging - as in ‘bunging onto something’, putting on something (bung veggies on a plate, putting veggies on a plate), usually in a careless or ‘easy’ manner.Ĭaramel Crowns - one of Arnott’s totally awesome chocolate and caramel biscuit. Means the same thing!īudgie smugglers - men’s bathers, small, brief and tight-fittingīuggered - many Aussie use it as a slang word for ‘broken’ (it’s buggered), ‘tired (I’m buggered), and ‘no way’ (I’m buggered if I’m going to do that). Has a cruder description, but let’s not go into that here. It depends on how it is said and meant.īrown nose - currying favour, sucking up. It’s an insult, though sometimes we use it as a term of affection. Does that make me an older Aussie? Heck yes! LOLĪrse-End Arnold - usually the soldier guarding the rear of a platoon when in the field.īeaut - beautiful, awesome, great, wonderfulīikie - biker, person who rides motorcycles.īloody - a swear word ‘no bloody good’, in place of ‘no damned good’īlue - fight, argument - as in ‘they’re having a blue’īoofhead - idiot, simpleton, etc. Interestingly enough, as I’ve grown (gracefully) older, I find a lot of our slang is bypassing the younger generation, so if a young Aussie says they have never heard a certain word, don’t be surprised! But trust me, I’ve used these words all my life growing up, and so have a lot of my family and friends. If I’ve forgotten any, I do apologise! Also, you’ll find some of our Aussie words have different spelling to the US. I found that some overseas readers were having difficulty with the Australian slang, so I thought a list of the slang I’ve used will help while reading the following story.
