Regarding your Cairns vlog on slang, I think your lesson was a little premature as you will soon notice, Australian colloquialisms are different everywhere you go.
For example, I have never heard anyone use the word "nappy" to describe underwear, unless they were referring to a baby. A nappy in most parts of Australia is a diaper.
Also, my understanding is that “togs” describe both men’s and women’s bathing suits. In NSW they are sometimes referred to as “swimmers”, but in Victoria they’re called “bathers”.
And, lettuce may be all that counts for salad in Cairns, but I'm sure you noticed that salad means a variety of tasty vegetables often served with some kind of dressing in Sydney.
Also, a note on pronunciation: We pronounce it "Ozzie", not "Arssie".
I look forward to taking the in depth Aussie Slang 102, featuring local dialects, when you've covered the rest of the country. |
