Good morning, hope all are well so it is time for some Aussie Slang mostly still used.
Larrikin........Mischief maker
Someone who acts with apparent disregard for conventions or consequences
Lob in or up.....To drop in unannounced to visit people
Kero.............Kerosene
Iso.............Isolation as those with Covid 19 had to do
Knocker.........Someone who criticises most things
These all make sense, I guess, even though I have never heard them. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey make sense to me, naturally
DeleteSome I still use all the time and don't even think of as slang eg lob. But larrikin is a word my grandchildren wouldn't know so I would use hoon instead. Slang changes quickly, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes slang words change pretty fast and some words just seem natural such as lob have used that word a lot over my lifetime
DeleteForgotten about those slang words Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteYes some words fad out of use
DeleteAlways enjoy the Aussie slang, Jo-Anne. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased
DeleteCan't say I know those... over here, knocker would cause some fun confusion, as it is a term usually directed at well endowed females (in the plural).
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Thanks for sharing.
