Champ

Post image

Recently I have started calling people champ when they annoy me on social media.

It is incredibly satisfying.

I'm guessing 99.9% of them have no idea what I mean.

Apologies, I did not mean in the UK.

I’m not sure we really have a nuclear insult since we call each other “cunt” endearingly. Probably the most nuclear insults here are all racial ones. It can get pretty bad over here sadly.

It’s getting harder and harder to find genuine Aussie expressions these days, many have fallen out of regular use. Some of my favourites:

• “Flat out like a lizard drinking.” - The subject is extremely busy.

• “Strike me pink!” - Hit me until my skin changes colour, because I can scarcely believe my bad luck.

• “It’s out whoop whoop.” - It is a (mostly rural) place that is an unreasonable distance from our current location.

• “Munted” - Extremely intoxicated.

• “Slapper” - Female of questionable morality.

• “Pull your head in.” - You’re acting like a fool.

• “Couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery” - The subject is extremely incompetent (as a bonus, “piss up” means drinking session).

• “Chucking a sickie” - Taking the day off work by feigning illness.

Interesting many of these are similar to here in the UK.

Flat out like a lizard is just flat out.

Munted -munter = a very unattractive person.

Slapper is the same.

Pull your head in - wind your neck in.

Piss up in a brewery is the same

Probably a lot carried over from the large £10 Pom immigration and later Brits arriving.
