I’ve watched a lot of Kath and Kim and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be ace at this

Do y’all really say ‘budgie smuggler’ for speedo? And call those little crackers with a thing of peanut butter and plastic spreader thing ‘dippity bics’?

okay got a few terms for today

1. bodgie
2. carrying on like a pork chop
3. to get the rough end of the pineapple
4. on the wallaby
5. to come the raw prawn

tell me whether you think any of these are real and what you think they might mean!

I can absolutely hear an Australian saying all of those so I’m gonna say they are all real?

1. Something you smuggle in your speedo, obviously . I could see it also being like ‘dodgy’ or suspect-not up to snuff.

2. I have no idea. Maybe being lazy? Layin around like a fatty piece of meat?

3. Getting the shaft. Having a bad time. Getting the rough end of the stick

4. I dunno. Drunk? Tired?

makes sense - we seem to like adding vowels to the ends of stuff, most prolifically when shortening words and ending with 'o' or 'ie'

examples of the former are ambo (ambulance/paramedic), muso (musicians) bottlo (drive thru bottle shop) and smoko (smoke/snack break)

the latter includes sparkies (electricians), tinnies (can mean a tin boat/dinghy or a 'tin' can of beer depending on context), mozzies (mosquitoes) and aussie (you can probably guess this one)

alternatively a y replaces the ie in words like footy (AFL) or chrissy (Christmas)

more rarely some words are commonly used with any of these variants - rello, rellie, relly are all commonly used terms for relatives, flanno or flannie for flannalette shirts and commo or commie for communists

i think it's mostly a way to sound informal
i guess if i spent my entire life being chased by venemous marsupials i would try to shorten words wherever posso (possible)

"Caught the bozzie from a wogger down in Adelaide an now my britches are knackered" is maybe my favorite thing I've ever heard sometime say aloud.

True or false?

This obviously means ‘I contracted gonnorhea from a prostitute in the city of Adelaide, and my underwear has been ruined by the foul discharge’
