Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Australian Lingo : Real Australian Slang

Introduction:
"I've done the Oz Lingo quizzes contributed by non-Australians and I've got to say, most "true blue" Australians don't actually use a lot of the slang mentioned. Here, therefore, are a few expressions that "fair dinkum" Australians really do use."

    A stand for her television and stereo
    A piece of binary code

    A stupid person


2. I'm having a housewarming party. Somebody asks me if I have a stubby holder. What does he want?
    It's too rude to mention on this site
    A paper plate for the finger food
    An ashtray
    a cover to keep his beer cool


3. My friend has finished his stubby. Where would he be most likely to look for a replacement?
    In the coolibah

9. When would somebody exclaim "Sprung!" to you?
    When they'd caught you doing something you shouldn't have
