U mean stuff like 'she'll be right'

Gala. Pronounced: guh-LAH.

An Aussie friend told me that galas are very, loud birds native to Australia that like to congregate in the trees and pull leaves and nuts off the branches, raining them down on unwary bystanders.

Gala is also used to describe a loud, disruptive person (i.e.: What a gala!).

A phrase that you can still hear is 'Shot Through' as in he/she has shot through.

Generally used to describe a situation where someone has left a person/place unexpectedly or without notice eg: 'He's shot through'

'Get a wriggle on'

A still used phrase which equates to 'hurry up, we're late or c'mon get yourselves moving'

Often used in connection to young children, particularly when you want to go somewhere.

Here's my two cents - "no wucken furries" which is our slang for the slang "no worries" (or one of them anyway - there is also "no wuckers"). Being Australian you will find that there is often slang for slang as well. Of course our nicknames are great for that. My name is three syllables so it is shortened to one. BUT if you have a one syllable name it is often lengthened to two or three. A good example is Ben - which becomes Benno.

Then there is "I'd throw a leg over that one" - I am sure you can figure that one out - he he he

"Flat out like a lizard drinking" which means that you are really really busy.

"Bite ya bum" means shut-up

Then there is a "blowie" which is a fly a "mozzy" which is a mosquito, a "cozzy" which is a swimsuit.

Anyway I am getting outta control now. Can you tell I get a little homesick - he he he

Seeing it is the morning - time for me to get my brekky and have a cuppa.

See ya later

My favs:

* Fairy floss (candy cane...)
* Rubber (eraser.. everyone thinks I'm talking about condoms)
* Bob's your uncle (she'll be right.. umm.. there you go.. I think... anyone help on that one?)
* Rug up (get warm by putting on lots of clothes)
* arvo or arvy (afternoon), better known as thisarvo, or thisarvy

This is fun!

How about

"smash-up" and "smash repair" ?

I just love how EVERYTHING gets shortened:
Brekkie-breakfast
Prezzies-presents/gifts
Champers-champagne
Cozzies-swimming costumes/bathing suits
fav pick up is definatley: "wanna root"
oh yeah, and what about "pash" for kissing!!!
