Celebrating The Things That Make Australia Unique
In this section of our website, you'll find examples of some of the words and phrases we use in Australia. There are a lot of British and American slang we use in Australia such as fridge for refrigerator. However, the information we've listed here, like the rest of our website, is devoted to all things Australian and so we've excluded most non-Australian words.
Rather than alphabetize the hundreds of words, we've divided up the information into 4 parts: Slang Phrases, Categories, Rhyming Slang and More Slang. We hope this makes it easier for you to understand and more enjoyable to read.
And finally, we're proud of being a very robust and colourful people and there are a lot more words we could have included in our lists. However, this is a family friendly website so you may find some of your favourites missing.
