Is it an Aussie thing to say  'have a good one!'  as a parting comment, or do you guys over there say it too?

People here often say, as a space-filler 'aw, what, hi!'  Nobody knows what it means. 'Raging' means angry.  This can be used as in 'Ha, feel the rage, hi!' Does anyone else say 'You fry my head' for someone who is annoying? Anyone else ever been called a 'Gimp'? 'Spoon'? 'Eejit'? « Last Edit: March 29, 2008, 07:14:28 am by maryd » Report to moderator   Logged Green_Lanta Elijah Obsessed! Offline Gender: Posts: 912 Queen Gem: Gyspy, Genie, Goddess, GEEK!

But we tend to say 'Nuh' for No 'howzit goin' ?' for How are you? and 'f***wit' is a popular insult.

Being that I am here in the US (Florida) I doubt any of this is original... ie: "Dude" can be "Sir, Madam, Hello, or I'm surprised." "Totally" = I agree "Y'all"  =  all of you "Sammich" or "Sammy"= a sandwich "Do me a solid" - Help me "Can I bum a square" -  May I have a cigarette Some are with me and my husband. "Telebuddy" - stomach (ie: My tellybuddy is bloated after that sub) "Cornelle"  - a guy who keeps your stuff "Boo" - Honey Some just amongst friends like "Shaggy"..meaning woefully low..created from Shaggy from Scooby Doo.  As in "I had gum on my shoe and I felt so "shaggy". But my favorite is Jeff Foxworthy's "Euphoria"  = Hey are you four of you going to ride in the same pickup truck? And for Fl the ever popular "Fer Sure". In California it might be "Fer Sure, Dude." But here it's "For Sure...y'all." « Last Edit: April 02, 2008, 10:56:14 pm by Billswife » Report to moderator   Logged Go blonde along with me..the best is yet to be. Green_Lanta Elijah Obsessed!

Re:Sayings you have from where you from « Reply #22 on: April 03, 2008, 12:13:42 am » That American 'y'all' expression reminds me of what we say: Instead of the plural 'you', we Aussies say 'youse' or just 'yus' to refer to a group of people, as in "Are youse coming? " or "When are yus leaving?" Like you Brits we say 'mate' a lot - even to non-mates - as in "Howzit goin' mate?" to a stranger, meaning "Are you well this evening my fine fellow?" 'Durrie' or 'f*g' means cigarette, as in: "Can I bum a f*g of yus mate?" « Last Edit: April 03, 2008, 12:16:33 am by Lanta the Gemstar » Report to moderator   Logged m Be yourself.

Re:Sayings you have from where you from « Reply #27 on: May 08, 2008, 08:54:08 am » Some rude ones for yus all: In Oz, 'fanny' refers to a woman's private parts, NOT the backside as in the United States. 'Root' refers to the act of fornication, NOT only the underground portion of a plant, or to support a team! 'Poofter' is a male homosexual. 'Sheila' means a person of the female population, and yobbo males are commonly heard at Footy games and the like yelling: "Move your arse poofter - you run like a bloody sheila!!!"
