The great Aussie slang and trivia thread
Summary: In this lively discussion filled with Australian slang and humor, participants engage in a playful exchange with frequent references to a character named 'George', who seems to be either misunderstood or jokingly criticized throughout. The conversation is peppered with cultural references, jokes about Australian phrases and trivia, and humorous anecdotes involving fictional characters Robbo and others. The informal dialogue captures the essence of Aussie humor, with lots of slang and a lighthearted tone. There's also commentary on the imagined interactions and confusion with 'George', who remains a focal point of amusement.
Will this thread blow George's mind?
Or will I simply be accused of sarcasm because George does not understand my comments?
Did you know that here in Australia you will often hear people call Wagga Wagga Wagga but you never hear anyone call Woy Woy Woy

OP3 weeks agoHobo on an oboe 🤣🤣🤣
countessalmirena
·3 weeks agoAfter guzzling the Vego, Robbo paid his rego, and went walkabout. Musta met a hobo - Gazza, remember him? got done by robodebt - anyway, this hobo Gazza was gone mad for a ockerstra gig at the Bowl, but he got tottily Mozart and Liszt and he thunk he was gonna play the goanna for the black tie mob. Woulda bust me guts to hear the hobo on an oboe, but. Only thing he ever played was the lagerphone or a bit of a riff on the wobble board, I reckon.

·3 weeks agoRobbo was stoked when the Cockroaches won Origin, thumped the Cane Toads at the old Lang Park.
Had a barbie with his mates, not like the old days though, didn't get blotto on the old silver bullets, just had a few stubbies watching on the idiot box, blokes and sheilas all enjoying the footy together.

OP3 weeks agoOh yeah, that Robbo. Face like the back of a Burwood bus
mytreechange
·3 weeks ago · EditedNah, Robbo quit the fags a while back. He's an old fart now. Runs the Victa around the Hills Hoist on Sat'dy mornin', still wearing his old flanno but now it's stretched over his beer gut.
He's not a bludger though, he's a tradie and only has a day off when he's crook as Rookwood.
He still feels like a Tooheys most arvos, sticks a tinnie in his fave stubby holder and always skulls the first one 'cause he's dry.

·Jul 11, 2026 at 7:40 AMIs he still havin’ a Winfield? What a budgie-head. Reckon his trackie daks make him look like a drongo. Tell him he’s a bludger and wouldn’t know a fair shake of the sauce bottle if it shirtfronted him.

·Jul 10, 2026 at 7:48 AMMe old mate Robbo, he's a bit of a bogan, a real westie from the Druitt. He used to think he was King Sh*t, in his unbuttoned flanno and new Dunlop Volleys (guess whose mum's got a Whirlpool). Him and his mates used to catch the old red rattler into town to go to the pictures, stirring the posh city sheilas and rolling Jaffas down the aisle.
