Aussie Slang Part 4

Brekkie: breakfast
Brekkie Creek: Breakfast Creek, an Aussie-style pub in Brisbane, renowned for letting you select your steak at the order counter from 3-4 cuts of 3 kinds of beef.
Ridgy didge: "all right", "fair dinkum", "genuine". "Brekkie Creek is ridgy didge."
Fair dinkum: genuine, the real deal. "XXXX is fair dinkum."
Rock up: to arrive; almost always present tense, even when using to refer to something in the past. "We rock up to the party and who was there but my friend Jan."
Youse: you. Surprisingly common, pronounced like we might say "ya's". "See youse later."
Fair go: Aussie value of giving everyone a fair chance. "Everyone deserves a fair go."
Stubbie: bottle, typically used when ordering beer. "Draught or stubbie?"
Too easy: No problem. used by itself. Often a conversation closer when you're asking someone for assistance, or making a request at a shop. "Could you lend me hand?" "Too easy"
VB: short for Victoria Bitter; a beer from Melbourne. Usually an indicator the person asking for it is from Melbourne, which is sometimes a problem in Brisbane, when XXXX is the local beer
Boag's: a beer from Tasmania. Usually marks one as a Tasmanian if you order it in Brisbane
Tassie: pronounced, Tazzie. Tasmanian. "Boag's is a Tassie beer."
Drop the penny: make a phone call. Implies informing on bad behaviour. "The neighbors had his sprinklers on in the middle of the day, so I dropped the penny."
Tasty: sharp or flavorful. Often, cheese will be labelled "tasty" or "extra tasty." Even cereal can be described or labelled "Light and tasty."
Longlife: this one confused me for months. Canned or packaged liquids with preservatives or pasteurized to remain on a shelf without refrigeration. Mostly seen in supermarkets, who may have half an aisle devoted to longlife products. "Longlife juice." "Longlife milk."
Straddie: Stradbroke Island, a sand island off the coast of Southeast Queensland. Popular tourist destination accessible only by boat.
Reckon: guess, surmise, believe. A common expression. "You reckon he's the complete package?" "I reckon he is"
Cairns: a tropical coastal city in North Queensland on the Coral Sea; near the Great Barrier Reef. Pronounced with the Aussie "'r'/aaah", "Cairns" sounds remarkably like "Cain" or how the French pronounce "Cannes"
Bogan: implies lower class, uncouth, ethnic. Not a very nice term, and almost never ironic.
Westie: from the Western suburbs. Usually a term in Sydney, though applicable in Brisbane. Western suburbs in cities on the East coast of Australia have affordable housing because they are away from the more desirable and cooler coast, so are typically working class. Implies working class, uneducated, uncouth, ethnic. Not nice, and rarely ironic. "Look at those Westies over there."
Derro: derelict. Similar to bogan, but nastier. "The Queen Street Mall is being taken over by derros"
Kiwi: New Zealander
JAFA: Depending on where you are, could be Just Another Fucking Aucklander or Just Another Fucking Australian. Usually a Kiwi term. Usually derogatory, but could be used ironically. Loudmouthed, hard drinking, arrogant. In a Kiwi context, Auckland has undue influence in New Zealand society, but is not the capital city and is not where the majority of the people live.
Top End: Tropical North Australia. Yorke Peninsula in Queensland, Darwin, and Broome in the Northern Territories are all in the Top End.
Feral: closest US equivalent is "hippie." Implies living off the land, usually in the tropics, and usually refers to a Caucasian. Usage depends on context and intent, but among urbanites, frequently self-deprecating. "Johno, you've grown a beard." "Yep. Just back from holiday, and went feral."
Holiday, Yearly Leave: vacation
