Australians must find the "Fanny Pack" to be very umm funny.

I'm from pittsburgh and we seem to have our own little language there. We say gumban (rubber band), reddup (clean up), still mill (Steel mill), liberry(library), we shop at the gyn iggle (giant eagle), I could go on and on. I have actually had people pin point me as being from pittsburgh not just from the north.

Quoll, I know a guy originally from Missouri that lived many years in Texas that I could picture pronouncing a lot of those words and phrases exactly the way you spelled them.


I've been know to use "get on the horn" to mean making a phone call.
Example: Get on the blower and find out if they can take delivry Mondy instead a Fridy.

I have no idea how I started using this one.
Aussiefied it for ya. :D
 
In the spirit of those who have mentioned nonsense words used in their families or neighborhoods, my father used to refer to any mild stomach ailment as "the willipuss wallapuss."
 
If I understand correctly, in America if you lucked out, then that is a good thing. In Oz that would be a bad thing.

If you root for your team, your sexual prowess is indeed impressive.

Skippy is a kangaroo or a term used by other ethnic groups to describe an Aussie.

I grew up in Milwaukee. Everyone there uses the word "bubbler" for a drinking fountain. If someone ever asks you for a "bubbler" you know they're from Milwaukee, or at least Wisconsin.

That's not a bubbler

Where I grew up this was a bubbler

Google images agrees too.

When I was a kid I loved the word spastic as in, to be spastic but I needed something to desgribe the act of being spastic so I decided spasticate, spastication, and spasticating were fully legitimate words.

Sorry just a rambling mental spastication :rolleyes:

monosyllabic troglodyte has always been one of my favourites, and very fitting for that other board. ;)
