It is Wednesday seems to come around every week, oh yeah it does indeed come around every week.
Well here are this weeks Aussie Slang words and phrases.
Tall Poppy Syndrome: The tendency to criticise successful people
Throw Down: A small bottle of beer easy to throw down (drink) it is only 250mls
Top End: Far north of Australia
Trackie Dacs/dacks: Track pants or what some may call sweat pants
True Blue: A patriotic or loving this awesome country
You must have been listening to our regular speech again :) The only expression I don't recognise is throw down.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I know what a throw down is was because when we first met Tim drank throw downs
DeleteTall Poppy Syndrome is a new one on me, Jo-Anne. It could describe any number of ways people in the States want to take another down a notch.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Yeah it may be an Aussie saying but not something that just us Aussie's do
DeleteThrow downs- what my son drinks (only I go by ABV instead of mls...
ReplyDeleteI am not a beer drinker and only heard the term when I met Tim
DeleteHadn't heard of Throw Done - the others I have Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be the theme here
DeleteTrue Blue doesn't really mean anything patriotic here, but we have the term. Never heard of the rest of them. :)
ReplyDeleteI always thought of True Blue as meaning really, honestly but others say differently
DeleteThose are good ones. I especially like the Tall Poppy Syndrome. That's different.
