This is from the 1940s, but Aussies DO have a wealth of slang that no one else can suss. So, what new terms can we add, and which ones no longer apply?

Sheila, Shout, drop the bundle, dinkum, abo ( as a racist term) , pommies, woop woop, barrack are all still in common use. the others are not. some of them are not uniquely australian.

Yes okay, I am a pom, but I nearly married a true blue aussie sheila, so I was fluent in the lingo for a while!

Buy a few Kevin "Bloody" Wilson CD/DVD's. Great way to catch the "language".
Do a search at play.com or amazon.
