Aussie words
Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:08 am
Following
are results from an OZ-words Competition where entrants
were asked to take an Australian word, alter it by one
letter only, and supply a witty definition. Clearly, you
need to be an Aussie to understand.
Billabonk: to
make passionate love beside a waterhole.
Bludgie: a
partner who doesn't work, but is kept as a pet.
Dodgeridoo: a
fake indigenous artefact.
Fair
drinkum:
good-quality Aussie wine.
Flatypus: a
cat that has been run over by a vehicle.
Mateshit: all
your flatmate's belongings, lying strewn around the
floor.
Shagman: an
unemployed male, roaming the Australian bush in search
of sexual activity.
Yabble: the
unintelligible language of Australian freshwater
crustaceans.
Bushwanker: a
pretentious drongo, who reckons he's above average when
it comes to handling himself in the scrub.
Crackie-daks:
'hipster' tracksuit
pants.
And for
the Kiwi's amongst us:
Shornbag: a
particularly attractive naked
sheep.
