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
