AUSTRALIAN SLANG

Speaking Australian Slang

Australian slang is colourful, and often funny. Australian slang can also be a complete mystery to most people not born here.

To help you, rather than alphabetize hundreds of words, I divided up the information into three parts: Slang Phrases, Categories, Rhyming Slang. I hope this makes it easier for you to understand and more enjoyable to read.

There is a lot of British and American slang we also use in Australia such as fridge for refrigerator. However, the info listed here, like the rest of our website, is devoted to all things Aussie so some words were not included.

And finally, we're proud of being a very robust and colourful people. Please understand that this is a family friendly website used by children too, so you may find some of your favourites missing.
