Thread: Australian slang words

Bushman's hanky : Emitting nasal mucus by placing one index finger on the outside of the nose (thus blocking one nostril) and blowing.

lol we call that one a 'snot rocket.'

I think this one is universal:

Cook (noun) : One's wife

I'm going to incorporate this phrase in my next binge:

Piss : beer. Hence "hit the piss"

Ahh so instead of coffee and sammiches you made me coffee and a:

Sanger : a sandwich

I'll make sure to by a pocket dictionary of these if I ever go down under.

Beer..yeah out on the piss, sauce, grog, frothies........

Seppo : an American
