aussiedisneyfan Posted March 12, 2012 #76 Share Posted March 12, 2012 There is plenty of dialect and localised sayings around just think about swimmers, cozzies or togs! That is why people say the same thing differently no ONE person is right. To quote: http://www.ozatwar.com/ozatwar/aussieslang.htm#d Dipstick: a loser, idiot.

Sandielle Posted March 12, 2012 #77 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Don't know if these are local sayings, but I remember my Aussie-born g'mother admonishing us.................... Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs. (Don't try to tell people what they already know.) If the cap fits, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmac Posted March 13, 2012 #79 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Shheesh mate, what's up with you, is it my turn for your treatment. I will type this very slowly so you can understand.......... the slang words I provided were the EXACTLY the same as your "corrections" only I didn't include the adjectives "bloody and real" in one definition and an example of the way this word is used in the other. So no, you are incorrect, I didn't "make them up" as you suggested. So what is your problem? I was wondering why he quoted your post and then said the same thing:confused:. Got to get those post counts up somehow:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH comes from England and it always has been "bangers - accompanied by mash" there. And it has always been "snags" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thied Posted March 13, 2012 #87 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Correct me if i'm wrong but for as long as i have lived in Australia slang for sausages has been "snags" ... bangers is U.K slang yes both are correct and it relates to what part of Australia you live or grew up in Australia and there are few British slang words that are used in Australia slang as most of Australian slang was started by the early settlers who were mainly British,.
