Old School Words​

Aussie slang has certainly changed over the years—from calling mates ‘cobber’ or saying something was ‘grouse’, to expressions that have slowly faded away.

Each generation seems to have its own lingo, but those old-school words still bring a smile when we hear them.

What’s an Aussie word or phrase you used to say that no one seems to use anymore? Share them with us here!
