Alright, mates, let’s get a bit nostalgic!

We all know Aussie slang is complex and fun, but here’s the thing—some of it might be flying right over the heads of the younger crew! So, we want to hear from YOU: what Aussie sayings do you reckon are lost on the younger generation?

Drop your best (or funniest) Aussie slang below and let’s see who can stump the youngsters! Do you still say 'bogged' or 'fair dinkum'? Or maybe you've got a hidden gem no one’s heard of? Let’s have a laugh!

Cheers!
Blue

When my Mum was confused she wouldn't say 'what?' she'd say 'Who?' sounding a bit like a confused own.

 

[Knell]

'No Wukkas' - I think I heard that saying some 50 years ago in a country pub.

 

[veejayes]

I remember that one as no wuckin' furries........ with the first letters swapped, so it didn't sound like swearing
