Aussie Slang
10:11 PM on Jan. 13, 2008

 

So I'm standin' there in me bag'o'fruit fresh from

steak'n'kidney ready to hit the frog'n'toad with the

billy lids when me trouble'n'strife starts givin' me lip

about not havin' had a dad'n'dave. Don't worry sez me china plate, ave
a captain cook at ya ned kelly hangin' out!

I gave up, scoffed down a dog's eye and head off down the rubbity

dub.



a sample of the aussie's rhyming slang.

hey aurora, any chance of you translating that slang for me or telling me if I'm close? here's what I got so far (I think)... bag'o'fruit = suit, china plate = mate, captain cook = look, trouble'n'strife = wife. A lot of that reminds me of London's Cockney slang. :)

That was entertaining, thanks for posting it!
