Welcome to Australian Slang, a richly-textured, often ribald world of understatement and laconic humour. This Aussie Slang dictionary guide aims to do three things; (a) help the traveller decipher what they hear around them in everyday Australian life, (b) give the casual reader some insight into informal Australian culture, and (c) make a record of some old Australian expressions that are slipping into disuse now that English has become a global language.
