Stoner Sloth posted:correct. amazingly all these terms are real: As a pommie I can chip in on 1, we still use "bodged" and "bodge job" for workmanship which is done without using correct processes or tools. Taping a plastic bag over a smashed car window (instead of just getting the glass replaced) is a classic bodge job. |

Stoner Sloth posted:alright my fellow orbs - here's some more possible aussie idioms coming in hot and fresh from the arse end of the world! Full disclosure: I'm a pommie and my bestie married an Aussie lass, so I have a headstart on 'strine vernacular (I'm sure I only know a small amount of it though) 1. It'll be fine 2. someone from QLD lol 3. a long way away 4. lol this one is  5. going hungry 6. not heard this before 7. or this one 8. One of AUs most prominent species, the humble sheep 9. another one I don't know 10. this phrase is ridgy-didge alright 11. this one is definitely not ridgy-didge 12. something very good or exceptional 13. is no 11 proper aussie slang?
