25 Popular Australian Slang Words For 5 Common Situations!
The Australian language is a mystery in its self. They claim to speak the language of the Queen, but I do not truly believe them. The laidback attitude that represents the country has also influenced the way they speak. You will rarely find a word longer than 8 letters that isn’t cut in half or a sentence that does not end with “mate”. The Australian slang language is a fantastic study, and to give you a head start I’ve gathered 25 words for 5 common situations. Enjoy!

- Thongs – Cheap rubber backless sandals. (No, not the ones that go up your ass…)
- Bluey – Bluebottle jellyfish (If you hear someone shout this.. GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WATER)
- White pointers – Topless (female) sunbathers.
- Nipper – Young surf lifesaver.

I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job!
