Haha, I posted it on Google+ where some bloke told me most of my ‘Aussie’ slang was Irish/UK! So I guess it comes from all over, but it depends where you heard it first, Iris!! I could probably do another post with completely different slang against most of the alphabet letters – there’s a LOT of weird expressions! Glad you enjoyed it!!

Most I didn´t even know it´s Aussie slang! I just “grew up” with it, I reckon…
You say thongs, we say flip-flops.
I also like that you make it cute like brolly, glovies and such.
Funny post!

Slang sets us apart, Jill!! It’s funny when people ask you to ‘say something’ just so they can hear your Aussie accent & whatever comes out of your mouth!! I was once talking to a couple who’d been living in China – she English, he German – and I felt my accent growing broader and broader, and heard myself saying ‘flat out like a lizard drinking’ which I NEVER say!! Maybe I’m just a show off at heart!!

When we went to SAfrica several years ago the people where we stayed loved my husband’s use of Aussie slang!
