Hopefully by learning these you’ll save yourself from the otherwise inevitable awkward moments…Īussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi = a patriotic chant used particularly at sporting eventsīarrack = cheer someone/something on (‘He barracks for Collingwood footy club’)īogan = this is a tricky one to explain. Here is a smattering of the most common Aussie slang, some terms more regional than others. Nevertheless, there are quite a few Australian slang terms that are used by everyone – young and old. There are a lot of examples of rhyming slang – ‘Joe Blake’ for snake, ‘trouble and strife’ for wife – but these are rarely used today by Australia’s younger generations, especially not in the cities.
‘Dead horse’ is Australian rhyming slang for ‘tomato sauce’. ‘Pass the dead horse’ actually means something to Australians – something other than walking by/picking up and moving a horse carcass.
