Great 'Ockerisms' - oi oi oi !
January 20th 2010 23:05
If the terms 'budgie smugglers', 'banana bender' or 'drongo' mean something to you then chances are - you're an Aussie.
In fact, whether you're a Bloke or a Sheila, enjoy a Bundy or just a Cold Longneck - here's the Good Oil . . . we can speak in tongue so virtually no other nationality can understand us.
From Sand Gropers to Cockroaches, Cane Toads to Crow Eaters - whether you prefer Uggies or are a Double Plugger wearer year round, it doesn't matter - we all share a common bond and a common language.
Stand up Australia - be proud of our own truly home spun dialect.
Chances are the Sepps and the Poms will have no idea what your talking about and if they did would probably throw a Wobbly if they knew anyway - with only the Sheepshaggers any chance to picking up on the Lingo.
After all ask anyone other than a Aussie or a Kiwi what a thong was and chances are they'd be wondering why we're wearing them on our feet and not on our Freckles.
So whether your out in Woop Woop, call the city where the Coat Hanger resides home or claims the GABBA as your piece piece of turf - throw in a few more genuine Australianisms - in time to celebrate our National Day - January 26.
