Tough Aussie Slang
|
Australia is a country of complete contrasts. Because of the vast distances involved, the difference between the city dwellers and the rural residents is quite noticeable. This quiz will concentrate on the words that are more used by the 'bushies'.

Australians Sure Talk Funny
|
Because Australia is so far from the rest of the world, we have developed our own way of speaking. While it is often confusing to the rest of the world, it really does make sense, (sometimes:).

Face Fungus and Laughing Gear

"Never call anything by its given name" seems to be the first rule of Australian lingo. This quiz looks at the odd names Aussies give to body parts and the use made of body parts to describe totally unrelated objects.

Raw Prawns and Drinking Lizards

Australians have always had a unique turn of phrase. In this quiz I promise not to come the raw prawn with you. If you are flat out like a lizard drinking you might want to change tack and play.

Real Australian Slang

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.

Over the past 40 to 50 years, Australians have lost a treasury of terms. Television, books, movies and political correctness have all been responsible for giving Aussie kids a whole new language. Just how well do you know true Australian?
