Francois le Danque Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) have noticed a rich array of slang occurring around here...most of it new to my ears (eyes?). just going to post some of the more memorable ones here, with definitions and examples. please feel free to add some more, and to claim credit for the ones of yours that i post, as i don't remember who said what. Bamboo Schooner: A bong. From schooner, expensive new south welsh measure of beer, tall in shape; and the fact that some bongs are constructed out of bamboo. (note: i was going to post the genus name of bamboo, but there are 92 of the damn things! far out) Hey bruh, pack us up another bamboo schooner ey? Chat: Shit. Poor quality. From someone from Chatswood, a shit place in sydney (according to urban dictionary) anyone who didn't go is a chat cunt Fun Snorkel: A bamboo schooner. From the snorkular shape of some bongs. Won't be in to work today...had too many fun snorkels last night Pelican: A fool or floundering miscreant. Etymology unknown. Perhaps pelicans are amusing looking animals? stop carrying on like such a fucken pelican ya chat cunt Thunderbox: Latrine. From the thunderous sound of passing stool. gunna spray chunks, where's the thunderbox?? that's all for now folks. Edited March 27, 2011 by frank 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blood Trance Fusion Posted March 28, 2011 Chat: Shit. Poor quality. From someone from Chatswood, a shit place in sydney (according to urban dictionary) anyone who didn't go is a chat cunt I had no idea that orginated in Chatswood! It isn't shit though, it's like the CBD: an expensive hub that attracts all sorts including lads, unfortunately. It's apparently the best spot on the lower North Shore to sit with your feet on seats, smoking durries and scraping together enough change to buy a "pouch" (wine cask).

PD. Posted March 29, 2011 I doubt chat originated in chatswood lol it has been around for years. Fuckin chat cunts hangin out with their nuff nuff mates, on tha gas an shit all tha time. Durries gets used by a few ppl here occasionally, an old one. Try searching "dick wads" haha, it was used a number of times here a few years ago........ not many dick wads left at SAB now though its all a bit sterile. Back in the times of pod tuesdays. Not that its used here but when i was a young lad smokin pot in groups, the guy packin cones was usually known as Kerry ;) "Whos kerry? pack us up matey" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incognito Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) whos kerry"? is still used around these parts. the bamboo in 'bamboo schooner' more refers to the actual pot. slang i use on a nearly daily basis- dead horse- tomato sauce dogs eye- meat pie carl malone- phone uncle frank- bank sky rocket- pocket plates of meat- feet oh a new one ive learned, legger- generally someone who doesnt have a job, car or push bike and has to walk everywhere. usually with a dishevelled appearance. legger is working its way up to insult number one around thse parts.

ThunderIdeal Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) hah, the bush hankie! also known as snot rocket and flim jim. leg it - to hastily leave an area, usually the scene of some crime or wrong-doing it's got nobs on it - i'm not really sure how to explain this, if it doesn't immediately make sense to you then maybe it never will. i thought this one might have been pretty local but i was dismayed to see it used on a forum tonight. i can't think of much off hand, i like a bit of slang though Edited March 29, 2011 by ThunderIdeal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mac Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) "Waltzing Matilda" is Australia's most widely known bush ballad, a country folk song, and has been referred to as "the unofficial national anthem of Australia".[1]The title is Australian slang for travelling by foot with one's goods in a "Matilda" (bag) slung over one's back.[2] The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker, or swagman, making a drink of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When the sheep's ostensible owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the worker for the theft (a crime punishable by hanging[citation needed]), the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in the nearby watering hole, and then goes on to haunt the site. dunno WTF Tom Waits was on about tho Edited April 6, 2011 by mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
