AUSTRALIAN SLANG
I was, I am and I will forever be flabbergasted with Aussie slangs,
They either eat up the english words, or recreate a new meaning out of it, and even worse convert a small english word into a long sentence..
Aussie slang isnt difficult. It is pretty simple if you can use the suffix "-ie" intelligently. Well i really don't understand the necessity of intellect to do this. However, let me just give you some examples. If chocolate is chokie, barbeque is barbie, what do you think Christmas would be ???
Very simple !!
its CHRISSE....
Surprised !! Don't be :)
Wondering what a cockroach would be called.. cockie indeed !!
Well i was actually surprised to know that tomato sauce in Australia is called a dead horse!!
any connection between the two ???
abso -bloody- lutely NOT ... errrr.. i actually meant to say absolutely not.. As i had previously mentioned aussies have all the freedom to create new words out of the one's already existing in the Oxford Dictionary.
Well i actually came across a word "decko" which means a look or a glance is more like "देखो" in Hindi which means the same. How do i react to this discovery ?? - " I am wrapped" (I am extremely happy)
hoooro for now..
(goodbye for now)
Would be back with more soon.
