C@ntus, do you have any 'Doyo's by you? My nanny Sue from over there saw one in Courtenay, in Zellars so had us follow the Doyo around. It was very bloody funny. It looked like the Doyo was about to get her knickers in a knot. As soon as she heard my Nanny Sue call her a Doyo she started to walk away from us and give us a wierd look

You just have to watch a few movies from a few other countries to pick up on what the slang is.
Australia is perhaps too well versed on american slang care of the west coast ghetto you call hollywood. Thankfully we set up an Eastern Gold Coast Hollywood and have mangaged thus far to sell the USA back both the Matrix and the original Scooby Snax.
My big asks are where to now hollywood?? Are we back to Monte Pythonesque? If we are, I have a fantabualous mockumentary to direct.

Alright? = hello/nice to meet you/ how you doing?

Can miles truly separate us from friends? If we want to be with someone we love aren't we already there? If there is someone willing to show, and there is someone willing to see; magic happens. This is whem humans are alive. This is when the wingless fly.

Cheers for the tracksuit, it was pucker. Offskie to my see my mum whos a bit of a munter, shes always sucking eggs, and smokes 40 fags a day. I snogged my bloke last night; and he felt my jumper bumps. Went up the apples and pairs, and bonked like a slag. Pooped down the boozer, to talk to a man about a dog, but he'd had 10 pints and was off his tits; he showed me his todger but i said he could go stick it up his own jacksie. Took a waz and then went home.
Just wrote this to illistrate our amazing sense of the English language; i want to point out that this is a made up story.

On the piss - out on the town with the intention of getting drunk
Hammered, Locked, Jarred, Fluthered =Drunk

By the way (by the by, by the buzz),
i think it best to mention that plenty of people are not down with (are not okay with: are you doown with that? No, that's not cool) using "bitch, slut, whore" as a general term for women. Some people do use these words in a slang context and don't mean offense by them, but that does NOT mean that no offense will be taken!
People can call me a woman, a girl, girlie, bird, chick, sheila, and like that, but if someone is calling me bitch, slut, whore, skank, etc, they'd better be prepared for a very negative response!
That, i might add, is one of the basic diffs (differences) between guys and girls: among male friends an insult is friendly, among women, pretty much an insult is an insult. There are some girls who do more of that sort of talk, and there are a very few of my female friends with whom i'll exchange friendly insults, but on the whole, girls don't do the friendly insult thing with each other...
and...
Spark a nug - yet another term for smoking pot
baked - stoned (high on pot)
frying - tripping on acid
fried - very tired and burnt out
cooked - tired, or in trouble ("He finds out you broke his new wicks, you're cooked, dude")
weak - bad, usually when someone doesn't have a good reason for something they said or did, or when beurocracy interferes with a good time ("we didn't get the burn permit, it was so weak")
don't get your panties in a bunch/knickers in a twist: - calm down, don't be upset
get a grip on your pantyhose - see above
skeezer - sleazy person
hoser - a jerk (this one was big in the 80's and is coming bck around)
wonk - someone who is very focused on what they do, and very good at it, with the connotation of doing things by the rules (linux wonk, hockey wonk, Roland X5 wonk. I've never heard anyone say sex wonk )
Some you'll hear more in Colorado or other mountain areas:
Jeremiah Johnson - someone who is very self-sufficient and experienced in the wilderness (from a 70's movie)
Going up - going hiking/camping/backpacking (in Denver we say Up, in the mountains it's going Out). This is usually accompanied by a little head gesture towards to mountains.
Dusted - got only a little snow
Diamond/double diamond/black diamond - difficult or very difficult, or sometimes very elite. Ski runs are marked by level of difficulty, a run marked with 2 black diamonds is the most difficult and dangerous. ("How'd you do on the test?" "Not so hot, man, it was a double diamond for sure". "Are you gonna ask Suzette out?" "Are you kidding?!? That girl's a black diamond run, dude. She's outta my league")

cool: sweet, tight, bad, phat, nice, ill, sick, crazy, the shit, the shiznit, wicked, slick (also smooth, money), the bomb, dope
hella: really
we do the hand slap here in ontario too, as well as the bam.. or grabbing each other's thumbs and holding em for a sec.
cracked- weird, fucked up
hi: 'sup, hows it hanging? (if asked to a guy, you usually get 'a little to the left' as a reply, or something else pertaining to their penises)
whatever tickles your pickle: whatever turns your crank: whatever floats your boat: whatever you like.
breaking my balls: charging too much
props: compliments, respect
pissed: angry
fanfuckingtastic- that's just great *sarcasm* or no sarcasm
and i completely agree with jade lynx, you call me a bitch, i'm gonna take it as an isult, i don't care how amusing you think you are.
i think it's really interesting how most of the girl names are degrading...same with female genitalia: pussy, cunt, gash (eww i hate that one) box, hole, vertical smile
while guys aren't: willy, john, dick, cock

I got confused in New Zealand, where
Tea could mean dinner
A fanny is not your bum
schnoggin' is kissing
sweet as (not a$$) means, right-on, nice
pies aren't usually for dessert
and all dessert is called pudding!
Here in Colorado "right-on" is overused, meaning... sweet, Yes!
In Montana, they say "you bet"
but I still find myself saying "Cheers, Mate!"

Here a couple of South African ones I've found
Oke - the ONLY word for a man (pronounced like bloke but without the "bl" bit)
Chick - the ONLY work for a woman, appat from "female" which tends to be used in a insult-muttered-under-the-breath way ("Stupid female")
Kiff - cool
Toxic - bad
Yebo - (zulu word) means "Yes" but used exactly like an englishman uses "Alright" -- meaning "Yes" "Hello" "Understood/OK" etc
Oh my sack! - Oh my god!
Oh my hat! - Polite/female version
Howzit? - Greeting, much like "Alright"
Cheers - only seems to be used for goodbye so causes confusion when thanking someone for something
Cost - sucks, as "You cost!" or "That costs!" -- as in "cost to society"
A weird one was "Fair" which pretty much mean "Ah right" Enthusiasm was shown with a sliding scale:
"Fair"
"Fair dog"
"Fair dog ox"
--- god knows how this came about

Pikey generally means the same as Ned/Chav/Townie appart from area with high populations of gypsys where it still means gypsy
Neds have got many names. Scalley Kev, Pikey, Townie, Chav, Spiv, Kappa-Slappa (female version), Rudeboy
They're pretty easy to spot. Baseball cap (usually a knock off Burberry one), Adidass tracksuit, pristine white trainers, 4 karat bling, short hair gelled into little furrows.
Check out www.chavscum.co.uk for an indepth synopsis

Amen
Oh yeah, I had a point about Pom (an englander) too.
There's two storys about this, one is that it stands for Prisoner Of (her) Majesty. This got a reply (refering to all the Aussie backpackers visiting the mother land) in the form of Jafa -- Just Another "Flipping" Australian, although I admit to never having heard this used.
The other story is that it's short for "pomegranate" which, with a strong Australian accent, will just about rhyme with "immigrant" -- refering partly to all the British backpackers over there

What I didn't understand while I was there was the "just now"
"I'll call you just now..." and you could be waiting by the phone anywhere between 5 minutes and two days.
)
There's the quicker "Now, now" though....

Another couple that confused me are "Is it?" and "Hellova"
"Is it?" get's used a lot like "Really?" in england but doesnt always seem to make sence
"This cup of tea is really hot"
"Is it?"
"I really love tea"
"Is it?"
"Hellova" meaning very (hell of a) but again gets used in odd ways
"It's a hellova long way"
"It's hellova far to walk"

How about those Canadianism, eh?
Gotta love those 'uns about booze...
Booting, to boot -- An adult over the age of 18 buying liquor for those who are underage. Ie, "You got a boot tonight?" or "I'm booting for Jaime and Kyle, if they've got the money to pay me."
Bunnyhug -- A Saskatchewan term for a kind of hooded sweatshirt with a pocket in the front to keep hands warm. (A hoodie -- I'd never heard of this one, but it's so cute!)
Chinook -- Winter storm system that causes warm weather
Click -- Kilometre or kilometre per hour
Deke, deke out -- To feint, to trick or avoid someone. Ie, to deke out of a meeting.
Dick, dick all -- Nothing. Ie, "Whatcha up to tonight?" "Dick all..."
Double-double -- Coffee with double cream, double sugar (especially, but not exclusively, from Tim Hortons). Triple-triple and four-by-four (less common) are three and four creams/sugars, respectively.
"Eh" -- Spoken interjection to ascertain the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed. Can be used in any variety of situations.
Forty, forty pounder -- 40 oz. bottle of alcohol
Homo milk -- Homogenized milk. Known in the States as whole milk. Nobody here thinks twice about the milk cartons with the word 'Homo' writ in large letters on them.
Mickey -- Small (13 oz.) bottle of liquor, shaped to fit in a pocket
Screech -- Particularly potent brand of Newfoundland rum
Toque -- Rhymes with "kook." A kind of hat; a 'beenie', if you will.
Two-Four -- A case of REAL beer, a case of twenty-four beers.
Weak, makes me weak -- Saying that can mean anything from disbelief to enjoyment. Ie, "So John's going out with Susie!" "That makes me weak!" or, "Hey, check this out!" "Oh, I'm weak!"
Zed -- The letter after Y

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
