Well... i just wanted to start this thread to ask ppl to add in slang from their country.... not only is it hillarious hearing the weirdest slang words..... but i know from experience how awful it is to be talking and the people listening to you dont understand u at all. here are some typical slang words from Australia:

Pommie : Some one from England
Bludger: Someone hu is reallly really lazy and doesnt work
The bush: Like... the Australian countryside
Beanie: a tea cosy hat to put on your head to keep it warm ( in canada u call them "tooks" or something like that)
Barbie: a barbeque ( i think thats slang =D)

There are lots more, but i cant think of them at the time >.<"" If you know any... pleese add them =D

hmm yeah in canada we don't use beanies..
our word if touques
hmm i can't really think of any canadian ones..
btw, we dn't always talk with eh? at the end~!

i can so tell you're an Aussie just from the slang you used! haha!

also:
biscuit (australian) = cookies (US)
thongs (australian) = flip flops (US)

my fav aussie slang is:
pike - to ditch someone/people
munt/chung - to throw up, vomit (i use this A LOT)

hmm, actually it's hard to know if the slang we use in our daily life in Canada is really different from other english-speaking countries...

~how about these:

- bunnyhug = hooded sweatshirt (only we in the province of Saskatchewan use this word, or so i've been told!)

- ralphed = puked (ralph = puke)

- hammered = got drunk really bad

- joint = a hang-out place

- toque = yup, it's a "beanie" in canada (see first post)

can't think of anymore atm!

I just remembered this one...which definatly caused me loads of problems when i went to america....
In AUstralia... An eraser... is called a rubber
But in America... i think that means a condom... so when i was asking my cousin if they had a rubber.... =.="
It was definatly embarssing...


Another one to mean "ditch someone" is lash... for example
"You're such a lasher.." " I cant believe he lashed me"

ohh.. i dont know if they use this overseas...
shotgun- like... bags something..or...say its theirs first
For example:
"That biscuit is mine... i shotgun it first"

I'm from Canada and I've never heard of "ralphed" at all. . I've heard of "hurled" for puke. Joint can also mean drugs specifically a stick of pot.

Dunno if this is australian words only but here are some slangs:

Sick cunt - someone who is cool
Waggin school - skipping classes, etc
My shout - Paying for others
Dob - to snitch on someone
What a dog - someone who bails out
Tuckshop - school canteen or cafeteria
Yobbo - ignorant person
Beaut, beauty - fantastic or great
Fair dinkum - true or geniune
Good onya - well done or can be said in a sarcastic way
Stoked - very pelased
Flog - to steal something
prezzy - presents
Maccaz (said like mackers) - Mcdonalds

Was watching this commedy show on tv a few weeks. Dunno if it's said everywhere but some aussies like to say "No offence". "Hey your small, no offence!". When you say the word to someone they have to take it in, or used for fun " Hey mate your a dickhead, no offence". A word used to "TRY" not offend sum1

For those who plan on visiting London, don't go to Herod's and ask a clerk "where can I find some pants?" Pants are slang for a gent's privates, so use trousers instead.

I think Ralphed came from 'Ralph Klein', a provincial (alberta) primier who is an alcoholic.

thanks for sharing....i think that the next time i go to the uk and i go shopping..i WOULD ask for pants.....

rap music along with urban culture is slowly destroying the english language. they are creating, mispelling, and also misprouncing words. eg. dawg, phat, thurrr.
it takes many years of exposure to rap "music", movies like you got served, and a handful of "gangsta" friends to really learn this new language i call, english yo™!
for those who aren't "with it", i present to you

I'm from New Zealand so here are some of the slang terms that we use here...

No sh*t?: "Really?"

No sh*t!: "Duh!"

Aye?: "Really?" - or just used at the end of a sentence habitually... somewhat like how the Cantonese say "la", i.e. "Sorry la".

Shut up!: a variant of "Oh my God!" (I think this more of an American term)

"Tight" - i.e. "We're real tight with each other," meaning: "close" to someone or a group of people.

"Mint" - cool, great, awesome, fanatastic

"Phat" - same as above

"Mate" - friend

B*tch/P*ssy: Coward (usually used toward the male gender)

"Chunder" - vomit

"Wasted", "baked", "fried", "munted" - stoned

"Get your nose out of joint" - be offended by something

"Slapper", "skank", "toey" - slut/whore

Uhhmmmm can't think of anymore at the moment xD I will update as soon as more come to me!

I'm from Malaysia and some of the slang we use here is a bit like Singaporean slang but we have our own slang as well.

For example,
1. perasan - to tease someone who is being narcissistic
2. yeng - cool
3. chun/chunted - something amazing
4. banana - a Chinese person who can't speak Chinese

And for some reason, I know some Singaporean slang words as well so I'll just add onto clesias's list.

1. dao - to ignore
2. zhng - to make something cooler/nicer

I like how you malays and SGs use

'hen sian' =very boring
hahaha

and mix your canto malay mando all together hahahaha
it's pretty mad

You aussies forgot to put in

bogan= the australian slang term for a 'hillbilly' type, the sort that sounds like 'G'DAY MAY(T)E'
etc.

Australia... lol.

Cuppa - cup of tea
Snags on the barbie - Sausages on the BBQ
Pissed - used for: "someone's really angry" and "someone's totally drunk"

LOL in singapore, Chinese who cant speak chinese as labeled as Potato

^LOL why do non-Chinese-speaking Chinese people always get labelled as fruits or vegetables?

And Dao Fu, ahaha, I think 'hen sian' is purely Mandarin but the word 'sian' is used by everyone. And yeah, we mix everything together.

Also, really? Those type of Aussies are labelled as 'bogans'? I thought all Australian people spoke that way!

A Banana refers to a person of Chinese descent who cannot speak Chinese because of his upbringing in a Caucasian - or non-Chinese speaking environment.

You can also use Banana to refer to a Chinese person who surrounds himself with Causcasian friends, and although may be able to speak Chinese - prefers English any day.

It's in reference to the appearance of a Banana - Yellow on the outside (Asian skin colour) and white on the inside (again a reference to skin colour).

The opposite to this is Half Boiled Egg - White on the outside, yellow on the inside.

^Hahaha, yeah I knew about the whole yellow on the outside by white on the inside thing. I believe there's another term, Oreo, for African Americans who act all white-washed or something. 'Cause Oreos are black on the outside and white on the inside.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More M'sian slang:
kao - to woo, to chase(eg: I heard John wants to kao Jane.)
ajak - invite
cincai - simply, half-heartedly (eg: Just cincai do.)
