Good morning all hope it isn't too hot, wet or cold where you are, it's not too bad here cold but not too cold. Well here we are with some more Aussie Slang maybe old slang no longer used or current slang we will see.

Harold Holt: as in to do a Harold Holt meaning to bolt do a runna


Hoon: Hooligans


Journo: Journalist


Footy: Aussie rules football or rugby league depending what State you are in.


Freo: Fremantle


These are still used by many people

  2. I use them all, regularly. Australians seemed always to shorten names, then added an "o" eg milko for milkman, garbo for garbage man.
