In today's episode...
Righto, you lot! Grab a cuppa and chuck on ya tracky dacks, ’cause we’ve got a ripper of an episode for ya! Join Pete and his old man, Ian, as they dive headfirst into the bonkers world of Aussie slang. Ever wondered why we call flip-flops “thongs” or what the heck a “chunder” is? Well, buckle up, ’cause they’re gonna crack open the esky on 21 (plus a few extra) classic Aussie expressions, sharing some hilarious stories and explaining the proper way to use ’em.
From “good on ya” to “you little beauty,” they’ll sort out the true blue meanings and even have a laugh at how our lingo can trip up our mates from overseas. Plus, they’ll yarn about the weird and wonderful ways we shorten words and chuck an “s” on the front of “arvo.” It’s a fair dinkum deep dive into the language that makes us Aussies, well, us!
So, if you’re keen to learn some proper Aussie lingo, have a good chuckle, and maybe even avoid a few awkward misunderstandings, give this episode a burl. You’ll be talking like a local in no time! Chuck us a listen, mate!
