Well we are half way through the school or working week meaning it is Wednesday and the day for some Aussie slang.
What else did you get for Christmas: A derisive retort to someone showing off
Chrissie: Christmas of course well since around the 1960's
A Christmas Hold: Now some will tell you it means to have a tight hold on ones testicles thus meaning to have a hand full of nuts. Others will say it means to simply have a good hold on something.
Pressie: Which of course means gift or present
I really like the sarcastic "What else did you get for Christmas" phrase, Jo-Anne. All new to me!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Glad you liked the phrase and post
DeleteChrissie and Pressie I had heard of. The sarcasm of the first one is funny! :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is
DeleteOh my, how funny.
ReplyDeleteI think so
DeleteWell, 2 and 4 I learned on your last reply! I can't imagine using that last one, though...
ReplyDeleteSome I use a lot others not at all
DeleteOnly knew of two, pressie and chrissie, neither of which I use of like.
ReplyDeleteI use them more then I thought I did
DeleteIn my childhood, all long nouns were shortened then give an ie suffix. Christmas became Chrissie, as you noted, and still remains so today.
ReplyDeleteYeah I get that
