The Sydney Morning Herald today provided a small glossary of Aussie slang. Of those, I’ve really only ever heard “like a shag on a rock”, “flat out like a lizard drinking”, and “put the hard word on” before.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

One response to “Aussie Slang”
Bah! All these Aussie slang lists read like conversation in a remote outback town in 1913. I think it’s all a bit romanticised. Though I must admit I use the ‘Arthur or Martha’ one a fair bit 🙂
