There are a lot of new members here who prolly ain't read and had a chuckle at the Aussie Slang dictionary I posted about 6 months ago on the Old XL Forum so I decided to post it here as well.
Before ya read it ya need to be aware that there is a bit of..ahem..rude language so try and read it while the kiddies ain't around ok.

G'day all,
Me cobba Frapper sent me a PM today suggestin I start a thread dealin with Aussie slang.
I dunno how many of ya's are interested but I thought it would a bit of fun.
I'll give a bit of an example of the uses of various phrases so ya's get a better idea of how we use 'em.
Aussies (pronounced Ozzies) have a lazy way of using the english language and we quite often run all our words into one big word so it can be hard for other nationalities to understand.
We also abreviate a lot of words, eg "Barbeque" becomes "Barbie", and use a lot of nick names for people based on their real names, eg. Steven=Stevo, Gary=Gazza, Simpson=Simmo, Linson=Linno etc etc.
