Another cold morning with sore stinging feet, Jess has gone to work and I have rung Sam to get him out of bed and now for some Aussie slang word that some will know some may not.
Grog........Liquor as in beer, wine and spirits
Greenie.....Environmentalist
Grundies.....Underwear named for Reg Grundy a TV personality
Grouse......Great terrific or very good
Garbo......Rubbish collector

I would have thought a word like grouse would have went the other way. So why did Grundy get underwear named after him?
ReplyDeleteYeah I get that about something being grouse and no idea why Reg Grundy got underwear named for him
DeleteKnew of those Jo-Anne..
ReplyDeleteThat's good and not surprising
DeleteHave heard of the first three. But I thought a grouse would be a complainer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some slippers with grippers on the bottom or a rubber sole soon!
I do need something for my feet at some point
DeleteYes, slippers!!! I did like the terms you shared today, Jo-Anne. I was familiar with grog.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I hope I get some soon at least you knew about grog
DeleteGarbo makes me think of Greta Garbo. Not sure if she collected anything!
