Australian language translated

Hey for all of you who are keen on getting to know the Australian language more. I found this guide endorsed by the Monash University- so it totally must be true!

Here is your guide to the Aussie lingo:

A very short dictionary of Australian Slang, after all we’re not ones for talking too much gibberish.

However the Top 5 words everyone uses in Australia, but no one is quite sure where they came from-

Brus- Brother - cousin

Fuckin oath- Yes or true

No worries- Literal meaning

Fair dinkim- That’s true

Gammon- You’re lying

So next time you’re out meeting us Aussie folk don’t forget to drop in a few of our words, so we can understand you better!!!
