    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

    After 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.

    Robbo 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.

    Davo was the dobber, not Robbo. Robbo jobbed Davo when he twigged.

    Nah, 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.

    Me 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.

    It ended up he blew his dough watchin’ Swedish stuff, real blue, and the boys in blue caught up with him after he blew them off. And he blew almost 2.0, so of course that was it - once true-blue, now he blew his chances.

    George is more trouble than an ankle biter on a sugar high! His summaries are a dog's breakfast and as clear as mud.

    In Australia , only 2% increase , enough i think to keep the pollies additionally eager to continue subsidising domestic solar uptake

    oxford-economics-australia-data-centre-energy-consumption-report.pdf


    water consumption in Australia might be more critical but for Victoria there is , until recently the mainly idle desalination plant to take up the slack
