Let's bring back some slang!!!
I think it's daft that we don't use a more diverse set of slang.
Some words I want to see used more: Ducky - Super duper Honey-fuggle - To cheat/lie Sockdolager - Decisive blow (or a KO punch I guess) Miss Laycock - Love tunnel Anyone have any other good ones?

I never quit saying 'rad'. Mostly in a joking matter, when at work someone would tell me how something was going that I didn't really give a crap about, typical response "Thanks, that's rad!"
Or in reverse when they'd ask me about something I was working on that I knew they were just being polite, or trying to make conversation by asking me about it. "How's that report coming?" "Rad!"

I've always liked the term "scofflaw" for a criminal. Shame it's rarely used now.

Some Aussie ones:
Shithouse = toilet (originally) or, more frequently, something that is terrible ("This band is shithouse") Bogan = Hmmm... sort of our version of "white trash" or rednecks I guess. Close to what the Poms call "chavs". Wanker = Already mentioned in this thread. Very common usage.

I can pretty much name a bunch but they are more urban. I will err on the side of caution and not post them but if people are interested I will post a few.

My daughter's favourite - dag or daggy as in "Oh, dad, you're a dag"
 . Originally a criticism of someone who dresses badly or unfashionably but has become a useful, all-purpose, friendly put-down for someone "un-cool". In fact a "dag" is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "a lock of wool matted with dung hanging from the hindquarters of a sheep" I get it for both the original and general reasons  Fair dinkum or dinky-di - meaning genuine Bloody oath! - that's the truth Crack a fat - have an erection Dead dingo's donger - dry (as) Fair shake of the sauce bottle - our previous PM's favourite saying for being given a fair chance. Sheep shagger - often refers to someone from New Zealand but is also used for someone that isn't very reliable, a con-merchant or full of bullshit.

Cattywampus - something crooked or out of place.
Example: "Why did he park his car all cattywampus so that it takes two parking spots?" Moded - a term that used in the 80's to mean you just got put in your place. Examples: See Urban Dictionary examples Trippin - when someone is getting overly concerned or emotional over something. Example: "Don't be trippin over the guy who just rode buy in a woman's bathing suit. He's some sort of icon in Austin." Skunk egg - simply means onion Fixin (verb) - about to Example: "I am fixin to leave after this here football game is over." Fixins (noun) - some other side dishes or stuff included with a meal Example: "This brisket ain't gonna be right if I don't include all the fixins."

scratch your neck - when you've been proven wrong
scratch your dirty neck - same as above but you're really digging it in. More so even if you scratch your neck while saying it. I just found out what cobbler means in England. I will never be able to eat cobbler the same again. Thats probably a good thing tho, I need to stop eating so much junky food. Last edited by Dodgerchick : 10-08-2010 at 07:39 AM. |

Two which aren't particularly suitable for polite conversation but might explain to Americans I know why I smile strangely at times ...
(there's a restaurant near me called 'Long Doggers' ... always makes me smile to see it )Dogging = to spy on people having intercourse in a public place (Gotta love that politcal movement - there's a photo from one of the 'tea part movement' campaigns doing the 'rounds' in England of an older lady holding a sign saying "I'm a tea bagger" )Tea Bagger = a man that squats on top of a womens face and lowers his genitals into her mouth |

I watched the Aussie film 'Kenny' last night for the first time, and it was absolutely packed full of great Aussie slang.
I think my favourite was "as silly as a bum full of smarties".
