Aussie Slang Day

 


Hello everyone, you may have noticed that there was no post yesterday due to my computer having a hissy fit from 8.15am till 10am when it started working again as it should but by then I couldn't be bothered doing anything.


So here are this week's Aussie slang words.


Gabba: Wooloongabba, Brisbane cricket ground


Give it a burl: Try it or have a go


Going off: Busy with lot's of people.

A party that's lot's of fun


Hooroo: Goodbye


Jumbuck: Sheep

  3. I purposely use "hooroo" all the time these days because I don't like the way other brands of English have taken over our language. Hooroo is nostalgic and familial.
