I'm Australian... I was born and raised here and my parents were too. My best friend is Scottish and he moved here 3 years ago. Neither of us, and almost no-one I've ever met in my whole life speaks that way. His parents took a citizenship test about 2 months ago too, and I doubt those were the questions. (He can't take the test because he [and i] are 14.)
I'm Australian and if anyone can really fit all that Aussie slang into one sentence like they did on that test, I will shoot them.

Me and my friends have said the following (in order that they appear in the OP);
LANGUAGE
3. "bung a U-ey" (slight variation)
4. arvo, barbie, Bex, pressies, scoffed, chockies, bickies, lollies, "bit of biffo".
CUSTOMS
1. Barnsey, Farnsey and Acca Dacca, slabs, "flashing a brown eye", "having a slash"/"hanging a slash".
2. b) "You're going home in the back of a..." (left blank so as not to give the answer away)
3. "I've had a gutful and can't be fucked."
5. We actually had a bogan-themed out of uniform day at school.
Although we don't have the bogan accents happening, all the slang is there.
I also say "cheers" instead of "thanks".

Me and my mates say bung, that's who. We're bastardizing the English language, one word at a time.
Also; wrangers, mingers and skidges.
Wrangers = red heads, the other two are just derogative terms.
I wish I spoke like that, Australia is getting too Americanised these days.

I do speak like that. You kids these days with your microwave ovens, remote controls and MTV just wanna live life the way America does.
You should all go back to the old ways - wearing flannos, rolling your Winnie Blues up on your shoulder in your sleeve, growing moustaches and changing all your mates' names so they end in "O" - Stevo, Robbo, Danno etc - and sporting you-beaut mullets.
Ditch the trendy pink collared shirts, stop thinking using backwards R's is cool, ditch rap and grab a Kevin Bloody Wilson tape!

Maybe it's just me, but that's a rather dumb test for citizenship. The U.S. test, if I remember correctly, asks relevant questions about our constitution, system of government, and history.
Then again, it's comforting to know that if I want to move to Australia, all I have to do is spend a week learning the lingo.

SEE!? Australia uses shit-house words (however 'traditional' they may be) and the whole world thinks we're some sort of whacked-out, didgeridoo-playing bogans...

Incorrect, they're fed-up and can't be bothered anymore

It's a cumshot in the eye. Reaction is likened to an Angry Dragon.

Mole
1.a word used to describe a person (usually female) who is extremely ugly, disfigured, fat, or smelly.
1. "Kaitlin has nothing going for her. She is a mole."
2.one who is not appealing at all to members of the opposite sex.
2. Gary: Did you see that chick?
Steve: Yeah, she is a mole
3.a word used to describe someone who pisses another off or is annoying
3. Jane: Hey Amy
Amy: Fuck off Jane, you mole
These are the uses of mole that I know of, but we always spelled it 'moll' at my school.
b) You're going home in the back of a ...
I've only ever heard it as 'divvy van', but I could be wrong.
Haha Peli, I saw you post wranger. I fucking love that show. "hey wranger, go get me some milk from the tuckshop".
On topic, I know some of the Aussiest people and they dont even use that much. I understood 90% of it though.

Paragraph 1: That would be very VERY funny if you said that while some kids were on your lawn. VERY funny.
Paragraph 2: Stevo (or Steve-O) is an American name, you Jackass. (Get it?)
Paragraph 3: What the hell are trendy pink collared shirts? The Backwards R or Я is intentionally written that way by the band Korn because alot of their music is about childhood. I HATE RAP!!! But, I do think Kevin Bloody Wilson and Rodney Rude are examples of great Aussie comedy.
P.S. I was not trying to be aggressive with my comment on paragraph 2, just using some puns. (Oh and I dont dislike steve-o i think hes funny)
P.S.P.S. I am proud to be Australian, i just hate it when people use the Australian stereotype (often in a slanderous way)
Final Comment: Australians are just like the rest of you! We don't ride in kangaroos we don't throw boomerangs at people and we are not lazy slobs. Negative stereotypes towards almost any country are just wrong.

You are the bullshit idiots who make me not want to be Australian. Theres more refugees coming in sure, how ever they make up a fraction of the Australian population and they change NOTHING. Australia has not changed at all since refugees have come, it's not like we have a proper culture in the first place.

2) You're going home in the back of an ambulance (which is the Sydney version. Victorians say "divvy van", meaning divisional van or ambulance)
And Korn, please move to another country.

Australia is based on immigration, you wombat. I'm not just talking about Eurpoean settlers, either - many places across the entire east coast were built on the backs of Chinese farmers who supplied most of the vegetables to the population.
You are an idiot.

Yep, its really hard to spot that 86 per cent of the population that are Australian citizens. Oh gee, I think we're being overrun!
And how many Asians have walked up to you and said "your way of life is wrong?" Get a fucking clue. If they walked up to you and called you an idiot I'd understand, because they'd be right.

And are you fucking serious miz?
People like you are the reason, if any, that Australia's changing for the worse. You discriminate against people for what? Because they moved to here from their country? They didn't come here to interrupt your sheltered little piece of shit life, they came here because they respect our country as a place to live, and thought they'd be better off here.
Who the fuck are you to tell them whether or not they're allowed here? You're a piece of shit nobody who majority of Australians won't want to associate themselves with because of your imperialistic beliefs. And we sure as hell don't want someone like you voicing your opinion and people thinking that the shit that spews out of your mouth is the legitimate opinion of someone from our country.
Our country suffers from housing morons like you.
What about them? their awsome drink with em heaps lol and if you think im racist come back too the real australia and join the club, most people here in qld that ive talked too are.
Hmmm... I am from Queensland.
Also, I find it disturbing that you walk around our country and blabber all this shit out of your mouth without any consideration.
You're 19 years old and you can't even use proper grammar! No wonder our national IQ is so fucking low.

11-07-2007, 2:25 AM
Some of it I can see what miz is going on about, but I stopped reading his posts, because they're so shit.
I'm from New Zealand, but we have some little annoying problems with foreigners too. People (mainly Asians sorry) come here to work and live, and refuse to speak English. Not that they can't learn it. They just don't see the point of learning it, when they live in an English speaking country. I must say the worst are the Japanese. Sorry for the generalisation, but it is true. I know many Asians, mainly Koreans and Chinese who speak English, or at least are attempting to learn it. And I know many Japanese who don't see the point of learning English. But of course there are the arrogant Chinese and Koreans who don't bother to learn English, and there's also the Japanese who strive to learn it.
The problem is people come here, live here, work here with the public, like dairy's and don't bother to learn the main language. And from what I've heard it's the same in Aussie. But it is just a minority, but the minority fucks it for the majority.
I have nothing against foreigners unless they can't adjust so that they can live in our society. I don't ask much, mainly learn the language, and enough of the culture so as to not make a total dick of yourself. And that's what most people want I think.
But you have people like miz who base everything on a few people, this creates big problems.
Although it would be nice if they stopped allowing foreigners in and kicked the current ones out. :lol: But it won't happen, so we have to live with it, and try to help them to learn the language and customs.
EDIT: Everyone send goatse to kingtoad69@hotmail.com

11-07-2007, 2:27 AM
Haha, I understood most of that.
There's some parts of Aussie lingo that I don't like (eg: Fair Dinkum), purely because I think it sounds stupid and don't understand why people use them.
As for the argument with miz, I have heard of Muslims insisting that the Australian way of life is wrong and that we should change to suit them.
RabidMonkey summed it up nicely. The part about foreigners coming to the country, but not adapting to our way of life, especially learning the language. Of course this is not all, but just the select few ruining it for the others as usual.

& don't even get me started on these idiot politicians...only party I'll vote for these days is the Marijuana Party...& I can't even remember if they're still around.

It's a battered sav. You know, those poor quality meat things covered in batter? Like a pluto pup but not on the stick?
In NSW they call potato cakes, scallops and they call pots, schooners. They're slang is shit.
Yeah, the scallops thing is dumb, but a pot and a schooner are not the same. Importantly, a schooner is bigger than a pot and holds more beer. You Sicko Vickos are just too much of a girl's blouse to drink a decent sized beer.
One of the reasons I hate going to Melbourne is because 85% of pubs sell only pots. Dammit, gimme 425ml of Tooheys Old, not 250mls!!!!!!

Why the hell does a fun thread about aussie slang and culture have to turn into a bash-the-foreigners fun fest? I mean seriously, its no wonder Australia has such a bad reputation internationally if the only way we can discuss our culture is by bitching about the influence of others.
Yeah, the scallops thing is dumb, but a pot and a schooner are not the same. Importantly, a schooner is bigger than a pot and holds more beer. You Sicko Vickos are just too much of a girl's blouse to drink a decent sized beer.
One of the reasons I hate going to Melbourne is because 85% of pubs sell only pots. Dammit, gimme 425ml of Tooheys Old, not 250mls!!!!!!
Everywhere I go sells pints, you just have to ask nicely. I do live in Ballarat (large country town) which could explain that though.

Aussie pride. But seriously Australia is going downhill quite a bit lately. Just go into the middle of Sydney & you'll see what I mean.
& don't even get me started on these idiot politicians...only party I'll vote for these days is the Marijuana Party...& I can't even remember if they're still around.
Australia really needs to turn around...
I'm still very proud to be Australian though.
Well one of the side effects of the marijuana party is that it causes some memory loss. So its true what the ads say, if you join the marijuana party you will forget about the marijuana party, And that is bad because that would mean you wouldn't be in the marijuana party anymore, so dont join the marijuana party.

I live in the South-East suburbs of Melbourne, and the Irish pub at Knox City Shopping Center sells it in pints. And it's the only pub I frequent, so don't know about others.

I love being Australian. I get to live by the ocean in a relatively pollution-free city. We have great big jumping rats for wildlife, we get to call everyone our mate, and when someone like miz comes along we can call them a RACIST FUCKING CUNT and it's alright.

Understood all of it :)
I hate myself for it but I can relate to some of the stuff miz said. Not relate as in think the same, but relate as in some of the stuff happens way too much. People who think they're too good for English, Racist bogans and 'lebbo' hard cunts.
Sums up 60% of highschool right now.
PS: Whats the difference between an Aboriginal and a Table
A table can support a family :o

That's the offial afrikaans - S.A - version of mole. They can destroy the english language pretty much better than any other nation on earth.

BLoody afrikaans ppl over here in the conundrums. They insist on speaking english when they know they can't fuckin do it. Grinds my gonads.
I like to can be tolding you a question.
I can want to go wif you.
Shit like that. But I must admit it can also be funny. When you're really fucked on peyote or something.

I think he is talking about South Africans with strong accents speaking English rather than Afrikaans.

Actually I think he's saying South Africans can't speak english, and when they try it annoys him.

I've only been to a couple pubs that sell Schooners, usually I just get a Pint or a Jug though, never pots.
Besides, I'm from Vic, only reason half that stuff sounds NSWish is because nobody says any of that stuff in the survey, so I ballsed it up a bit :p
Also, Carlton > Tooheys

Carlton Draught > Tooheys New, true.
But Tooheys Old > Carlton Black, and considering Black > Amber, Tooheys wins.
Tooheys Old is pretty similar to Carlton Black from what I've found (only tried it once). Carlton Black being my favourite "more common than grass" beer, I believe it's cheaper than toohey's which would be why I buy it all the time, I know it's cheaper than Carlton Draught :)
That or just brand loyalty, can't remember.

So is this thread just gay people talking about how great it is to live in Australia?
I don't think it's about them thinking lowly of us
I think it's about them being dumb
Compared to the idiots who have popped up in this thread I'd say that I am Einstein.

Shutup and :gtfo: of my thread
And for the record, Toohey's Extra Dry is better than New. From bottles anyway. It just doesn't seem to pour as well from the tap.

Yes. Please lock this thread.
I really hate people who gloat about the country they come from. There's nothing wrong with pride. But this thread has turned into an international bashing orgy.

Extra Dry is better than New, true, and Premier ED is ok. Nevertheless, amber brews pale in comparison to dark brews which have more texture and a deeper taste.

God damn, John do you find it cute or sexually exciting? Big fucking deal! But in this situation, I have to agree with the gtfo smiley.
Oh well, I smell the thread dump monster getting closer, and unless this thread is locked pretty damn soon then I fear we will all get more and more pissed off, and we will all get put in time out, given some infrac and be made to sit in the corner/thinking chair for a while.
P.S. Souldrinker, some friendly advice, you should make a new thread for the beer types, that way you can keep discussing that topic after the rest of us are done senselessly flaming our way to the thread dump.
