A speaker of Standard English gets baffled when he hears two Australians talking informally in their Australian English, for they use hundreds of slang words in their conversation. These words are very much Australian and are obviously almost incomprehensible for a speaker of English language from other parts of the world.
They use their slang terms and expressions so frequently that a non-Australian just remains a mute listener. He feels as if the speakers are using some kind of code language.
Such slang words and slang expressions are frequently used by Australian sports commentators and actors in Australian movies. “Strine” is the other word that Australians use for ‘slang.’
In this dictionary we have included hundreds of Australian slang words and expressions with their definition, meanings, and use. We hope you will find this book very helpful to understand the Australian colloquial language.
