    Default Oz to English dictionary, lol

    Ok Aussie ladies(and guys) here's one for you
    I need common Austrailian slang, terms, words etc and their U.S. english translations.
    One of the girls Dea works with said something about getting carkie...as in giving up, and I think it would be neat to spout something back at her when she starts talking in her slang. I have no idea where she is from in Oz but, I'm willin to risk a smack if what I say translates differently because she's from a different locale, lol

    hmmm... carkie? as in with the hard US 'r' in it?

    oh, maybe like... cark it? (cahk it)
    usage: 'he looked like he was gonna cahk it' (as in carcass of an animal perhaps... )

    you can tell someone to 'give it a bone'... (like to a rabid dog, not your local ATF). it's a daggy saying that has been resurrected thanks to the show 'kath & kim' which pretty much takes the piss of everything old-skool aussie.

    ^^^ GCG, please ask your countrywoman Nicole Kidman to show us Southerners the same courtesy. Her attempt at a Southern accent was the worst I've ever heard in my life - it was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

    Why do I think of the men at work song?
    "I come from a land down under
    Where beer does flow and men chunder
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover."
    you live like an ivy vine
    you can only survive by clinging onto trees
    that's your flaw

    Mine is the map of tassie (or Tasmania) as I have a birthmark on my lower back that kinda look like Australia (mainland only) so the running joke is.. that is Australia.. and Tasmania floated away over here (pointing to my pubic hair)

    Chunder.. hahaha! I just call it laughing. There is alot of slang used whilst at the same time not used. Depends on the person.

    I've had a few Oz customers call me an "Ace Sheila". I adore that one!

    OK, while we're on that song:

    He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich


    Why the hell would anyone eat this stuff?


    What is Vegemite?
    Vegemite is considered as much a part of Australia's heritage as kangaroos and the Holden cars. It is actually an Australian obsession that has become a unique and loved symbol of the Australian nation.

    A Vegemite sandwich to an Australian kid is the equivalent of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to an American kid - but the taste is QUITE different!


    Vegemite is one of several yeast extract spreads sold in Australia. It is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract (a by-product of beer manufacture) and various vegetable and spice additives. It is very dark reddish-brown, almost black, in color, and one of the richest sources known of Vitamin B. It's thick like peanut butter, it's very salty, and it tastes like - well let's just say that it is an acquired taste!

    Australian children are brought up on Vegemite from the time they're babies. It is said that Australians are known to travel all over the world with at least one small jar of Vegemite in their luggage, for fear that they will not be able to find it.
    "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    Ughhhh. Vegemite is so nasty.

    My mom fell in love with it when she came to visit, though. The whole time she was in Australia, I don't think she ate much else. Now she orders it off the internet.

    If you drown everything in salt and never think anything is salty enough, you might like it. It tastes exactly like what it is, a black paste made of fermented yeast. It's incredibly salty (but then I hate salt and am very sensitive to the taste, can't even eat most canned soup, so YMMV). You're supposed to make a sandwich with bread, Vegemite, and plenty of butter.

    I do have to admit that it's good when my mom drops a spoonful of Vegemite into the boiling water when she cooks pasta. It gives the pasta a unique hint of flavor. But actually eating the Vegemite, no way.

    have your vegemite on toast with heaps of butter! the key is not to spread it out thick like peanut butter... (although boys seem to go overboard on it).

    a little goes a long way... just give it a bash, she'll be right mate.

    re: nic's accents. yeah, dodgy at best. oh well. sucked in!!!! they pay her millions to be really half-arsed. nice.
