Testing our Australian Slang (American Expats in Australia)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- After living in Australia for 6 months we test our Aussie slang! Even though Australia speaks English sometimes it doesn't sound like it :)
We mostly picked up our slang working in offices the past 6 months, and by watching Australian TV shows.
Let us know if you have any other video ideas to keep us entertained in lockdown! We hope you enjoy :)
Everyone's travel story is different, whether it is planning a week long vacation in Japan, or traveling long term. We are excited to share our travel adventures with you all and if you have any questions about traveling (what we packed, how we planned, how we booked Airbnb's, etc.) let us know in the comments!

About Us:
We’re Jenny and Logan, American Millennials with a passion for traveling and eating delicious food from all around the world. Our love for travel started in the UK where we lived and worked for a while, traveling to different European cities almost every weekend. So when we went back to our “normal” lives in the US, we knew we weren’t ready to settle down. This motivated us to plan a trip around the world and then a year in Australia. We decided to give this vlogging thing a shot and have really enjoyed sharing our travel journey. Who knows where we’ll end up next, so be sure to follow along to find out! :)

Chockers is like an even more Aussie Slang way of saying chock a block
Bit easier to say 🙂
Bloody oath!!
Hahaha love how you put the disclaimer at the start. No true aussie would be offended by an attempt at the accent. In fact we would consider it quite endearing. Keep up the good work
So glad to hear you enjoyed the video and weren't offended by our attempts at the accent. 😊 Thanks for the encouragement and for watching!
So true. We can take as much as we give lol
100%
I'm offended that someone would think that I would be offended.
I only thing I am offended by is when they do a type of cockney accent on tv etc.
Jenny, you knocked it out the park with the pronunciation of 'bathers'!
Thanks so much! ☺️
All candies are lollies. Lollipops are a thing. But the are also a lolly lol
Lollies is just fun to say, isn't it? 😊
"Oh, no dramas mate.." Excellent! Gold star for Jenny.
Haha Thank you! Picked up lots of little sayings working in an office 😉
@@twotravelingkings Yeah nah too easy
@@twotravelingkings no probs knackers
I’d say Jenny won at the pronounciation 😅 most of the time at least
That’s was entertaining, you’re a very sweet couple
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! 😊
Not sure if anybody mentioned it. The first one (for avocado) is avvo with a short “a”
No one has mentioned it previously but sounding it out loud that does sound right! 😊 Thanks!
All good no wucken furries.
@Dave Tempe "far canal" (as in "distant waterway").
@Dave Tempe "No"? Are you saying "far canal" is *not* a distant waterway?
I've never heard of "far Kurnell", but didn't say it was wrong.
So I did google it, did you?
Nothing linked to anything definitive about what, where, why, or when but seems to involve sailing or triathlon circa 2011.
I saw my "far canal" reference at a workplace that I started at back in 1979. (so possibly predating FK by at least 32 years).
The same noticeboard showed a circle labelled with "this is a round tuit".
You got your mucken furds wuddled
😁😂🤣
Yeah, no wuckin furries until you get a blat fattery.
Hey guys, I'm an Aussie and this is the second video of yours I'm watching. I enjoy these videos! You both come off so sincere and nice. Also, your voices are relaxing haha. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the kind words and we're flattered you find our voices relaxing, too funny 😂 Appreciate you watching!
In the spirits of “Cab Sav” spaghetti bolognese is often called “Spag Bol”.
But as an Australian with Italian heritage I’m conflicted on this one.
Spag bol is a new one for us, we like it! Thanks for watching 😊
Mr X or a Parma
Or “Loz” :)
@David Blundell no it isn't you duffer
Sav Blanc. This kind of shorthand is used in the wine industry by wine makers etc. I mean you're not necessarily going to chalk up a barrel with the full varietal/blend.
In Queensland swimmers or bathers are TOGS. FYI.
You guys are great. Loved your vid
Ah okay, thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings Also 'Cozzies' esp Sydney. Short for swimming costume. (bather's, swimmers, cozzies, swim suit, togs!) Fun fact: Speedo's are an Aussie invention/brand. Don't hate us!!! LOL.
My Dad was born in Wagga Wagga NSW. He calls them togs. We grew up in WA and we call them bathers here too.
Damn Straight, We have togs in QLD, or sluggo's in NSW. Keep up the fun vids guyz, Having lived in Plano TX you think we speak funny PMSL.
Togs is also used in New Zealand
"No dramas mate" was bang on. Well done Jenny
😊
@@twotravelingkings "No Dramas mate", the PG version of "No Wucking Furries"
You both made me laugh. Please come back when we all get back to normal. You are both lovely Aussie trainees.
Haha Aussie trainees. We'll take it ☺️ thanks for watching! Excited to come back!
Another fun vid! You guys have such a cute relo ;) hehehe looking forward to the next one!
Relo (had to Google that one 😊)
Take the first syllable, add an O or a Y on the end and you're golden!
Hmmm, we'll have to try that! Thanks for watching 😊
Mate dead set when you said Avo at the start i thought you were saying arvo : ) also heads up that was not a pash, there's no way you'd get pash rash from it or even be tempted to do a pash and dash. Can't wait to see your reaction to those two!
Pash rash and pash and dash - love it! Kept our example of pash PG for RUclips 😉 thanks for watching!
Great video! Overall you did pretty well with the Aussie pronunciation of those words, except for "avo" and "arvo". The "a" in "avo" is pronounced the same as the "a" in "avocado" or "apple". Australians don't pronounce the "r" sound the way Americans do, so "arvo" is pronounced "ah-vo".
We'll have to work on the a and r sounds to get it right! Tough fighting against our American accents 😊
Thanks mate I was about to say the same thing until i saw your coment you save me alot of typing
'pash' is more like 'make out' than 'kiss'. You might pash your girlfriend/boyfriend but you wouldn't pash your mother/father.
😂 that clears it up, thanks!
Unless you're from Tassie lol
@@crabsta lol
@@twotravelingkings It actually is from 'passionate'. As in "passionate kiss"
@@vorpalkickasso Came to say exactly that, "passionate kiss".
Just a kiss would be a peck, like Nana would give you a peck on the cheek when you're saying goodbye, but you'd pash chicks at a Blue Light.
Just cant say it enough. Yet another wonderful vid. You really put in the time to get to know the Australian culture.
Thank you so much! We definitely tried to immerse ourselves as much as possible. 😊
Oh my gosh!!! I've been your subscriber coz i do like more about this great and amazing aussie slang but i would rather you kept it up
We have lollipops! They're amazing! Although lollipops do fall under lollies in general! First video I've watched from you guys, really entertaining.
So glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! 😊
correct! Lollipops are definitely a thing here! Also we do distinguish between lollies and chocolate - while Americans lump both under the candy category.
Bathers is used more in Victoria. Bogans can be anywhere!
Good to know 😊 thanks for watching!
Togs in QLD, bathers are for southerners
Or cossie if in nsw :D
Yeah, you might want to check under your bed, or in the fridge.
"Can be"!!! They feckin are everywhere
Love youse blokes. Seen a recent vid. where you said you're coming back. More than welcome.Cheers from North Queensland ✌
Edit, bloody spellcheck.
😂 thanks for watching and the kind words
As an Aussie, i laughed quite hard at this, keep it up!
Haha cheers 😊
Sausage Sanger is when we use Sanger mainly. Ie. “Going to Bunnings, you wanna come to get a sausage Sanger?”
We missed out on those!
Great video 😂😂😂 really put a smile on my dial that one! The accents are getting better all the time ... you'll be speaking the lingo like a right cobber before too long 😎🤗🐨
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement! 😊
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement! 😊
Another fun video guys!
I’m an Aussie and I think the only time I’ve heard ‘sanger’ used is when we talk about a ‘sausage sanger’, which is a sausage sandwich (or rather a slice of white bread wrapped around a barbecued sausage topped with tomato sauce, grilled onions, and optional mustard. Usually found at Bunnings on the weekends 😋) or a typical backyard Barbie (BBQ).
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately we missed out on a Bunnings Sausage sizzle... Everyone at work told us that was the place to get one! 😊
@@twotravelingkings Then you guys really need to return :)
This is Annie and Gary.Jenny and Logan,please always keep very safe and very healthy.Please take the greatest of care all times.Please come back here to Sydney as soon as you can.You are beautiful people and wonderful role models.We just saw your video so now we will watch ALL your videos.We know we will love them.Subscribed.🇺🇸🇦🇺
Hi Annie and Gary, thanks so much for the kind words and support 😊 it means a lot!
I find it funny how your accent is sometimes a mix of like 3 different accents, none of which are Australian. but then every now and then you say a word that nails the accent.
The Aussie accent isn't an easy one :) Thanks for watching!
@@twotravelingkings the trick is to squeeze your nose tight when speaking Strine. Dead set.
lol...No worries on the accent at least you had a crack. Hey, you forgot Boardies. Another nice vid guys!
We gave it a shot! 😊 Boardies, that's a good one. Thanks for watching!
You two are so sweet! Keep the content going. Cheers
Thank you so much that means a lot. Will do! 😊
Manchester was a centre of textile manufacture. In Australia and New Zealand, the name simply applies to linens - tablecloths, towels, sheets, etc.
😊👍
Manchester used to be known for its linen production in the 19th C, hence the reference. 😊
Yes, I say sanger. But like a lot of slang, it depends on how informal I'm being.
Ahh, that answers that! Thanks for sharing we were pretty confused. Sanger is one we haven't come across but good to know it does get used. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@twotravelingkings Yeah I use it too, but depends on who i'm talking too, there are heaps more you probably didn't hear that are commonly used and they vary from state to state, and the further you get from the capitals the more slang you'll hear, people living in the cities are more used to avoiding slang around people who wouldn't understand.
I was born in Australia and our way of talk seems normal to us But some of our meanings could be up to about 4 to 5 things depends on how you give a face expression or in a sentence, how did it come about yous came over here, work ect
We met in Australia 5 years ago during Uni study abroad and wanted to do another big trip. The working holiday visa was a great opportunity!
2 years ago hope you guys are still here with love from W.A
just loved the 'pash' what a lovely couple
Haha thanks for watching!
Hey Kingy's, you two are doing a bonzer job with your videos. Your attempt at an aussie accent was ace, no offence taken. Aussies love to shorten names etc, so Jen, Loges, keep up the good work cobbers you are doing great!
This comment made us laugh and smile 😊 Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!
bonza*
And then there are differences between states. Have you heard “togs”?
That's a new one for us! Thanks for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings and cossies
I reckon there's 4-5 versions of the term I hear pretty regularly: togs, bathers, swimmers, rashie (just the sun shirt part), and cozies.
Budgie Smugglers can also be Lolly Bags. You can also have complete phrases such as:
Off like a bride's nightie (to leave quickly),
Gone through him like a dodgy vindaloo (used when batsmen is clean bowled), and
Dentin' the Doulton (result of eating a dodgy vindaloo).
Never heard those phrases before but wow they made us laugh. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I'm from Sydney. I am a connoisseur of sanga's. Thanks America for the Reuben 😋 One of my favourites!
Reubens are delicious! 😋
Sanga is more of a country thing or more of an older person saying it.
Chock a block is an old nautical term on sailing boats when the rope is pulled as far as it can go and the blocks are tightly pushed together with no room to move. But as aussies we actually just shorten it to chockas, and we will say it like nah she’s chockas.
And we don’t call them bathers we say swimmers or bikinis and for boys boardies as in board shorts
We've heard "sanga" is only used in certain parts of Australia which we weren't able to visit because of COVID so maybe that's why we didn't hear it much. Never knew the backstory to "chockas" (or that shortened version) but that makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing 😊
@@twotravelingkings sanga and bathers are used in Perth
Sanga is probably more of a baby boomer word, I ask the missus all the time to make me a toasted sanga.... and I’m a Roach, although live in cane toad country most me life. Tru blu means you are a fairdinkum Aussie... root means different things depending on the context and pronunciation ... stuffed, mate, shit and a lot of other words also mean different things depending on context and pronunciation.
I believe esky is a shorted name of Eskimo, might have been a commercial name that became the genetic term, ie Hoover.
That would make sense! Good point 😊
Yes, esky was derived from the Eskimo cooler chest which is still made today. Another that has all but died out is the wireless.
love the video guys. We also call bathers 'cossies' from Swimming Costumes
Thanks! 😊
Lots of words I say without even realising they were only said in Australia so thanks for the education on my own country!
Haha foreign to us some of them 😊
As an Australian I can tell you that the way you said "Avo" sounds more like "Arvo" which means afternoon not avocado haha
Indeed the American accent coming out 😊
Gotta love a good ole vegemite sanga. Couldn’t help but laugh. I’m a true blue 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching 😊
Your guys are such dags. Love your work.
Whatever you say! Haha
On your Melbourne trip you wondered why they wrapped the trees. They wrap the trees to protect them from a pest that destroys the leaves. It stops the Elm beetle from climbing the tree. They eventually kill the trees.
Thanks! 😊
New Australian word due to covid19.
Iso, isolation.
Been stuck in iso cause of covid.
Ahh that's a good one! Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes, and be sure not to catch the 'rona'
Nope, definitely not a new slang word, I used to work with medical Isolation incidents in hospitals etc, over a decade ago, we said "Iso" a lot when referring to it & situations, but it was a workplace term that may have spread out to more usage with lockdown since it's very Aussie to shorten a word (heavily) and shove an " O " on the end of it, as seen in vid.
yeah, you get a sausage sanger at Bunnings.
People probably say samich more these days and I'd recon' that might be Victorian bogans in the majority.
Thanks for watching!
Rikdownunda It's snag sanga!
5:25. . "Manchester" means bed linen - sheets, pillowcases etc.
That's because in the 19th century the biggest area of cotton/linen sheet manufacturing in the U.K. was the city of Manchester. .
So in England, "Manchester" meant those kinds of cotton/linen products.
That term was then imported to Australia and we still use it.
We actually used to live outside of Manchester in the UK and never knew! Thanks for the great info 😊
A sanger is probably spelt more often as sanga, but it is pronounced the same. It is most definitely an Aussie term but not used as much anymore as we don’t eat them as much as we used to. They were the only things kids at school in the 70’s & 80’s ate for lunch so as adults we don’t want to eat them anymore. Well that’s how it is for me anyway.
Have enjoyed watching you two in quarantine.
Thanks for the kind words :)
charming young yank couple, thumbs up and good luck in australia
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately we had to head home :(
A banger sanger is a sausage sandwich
Now that's fun to say 😊
@@twotravelingkings As you know you get your banger sanger at Bunnings, don't forget to put the onion on top 😂(now i've stirred up a hornets nest)
In the early days Manchester was world famous for its textile mills. All truly good linens came from manchester, and were called such.
In Western Australia we have a beer called Emu Export. Everyone calls it bush chook or chook.
Love it! Will order one when we get to Western Australia one day 😊
I thought that went the way of fosters, good to see its still about, enjoyed a drop of that every now and then (by the jug) when I was living in Perth
Use two Awesome
Thanks so much for watching! 😊
so many of these vids no one mentions "dead set" or "fair dinkum" I mean come on.
We have actually heard "fair dinkum" in the comments on our videos mentioned more than we ever did during our time in Australia which is odd since it seems so common!
Lovely to hear your comments about Australia and Aussie English and Danger Bear is right your attempts at the accent are endearing. You might also like to read Aussie English & Aussie Etiket by John O'Grady for a laugh. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words and lack of judgement on our attempts at the accent. Logan is much better than me! Great suggestion, I'm sure we would get a kick out of it, we'll have to check it out. Thanks for watching 😊
I am Aussie and didn’t know these terms were different. We use them all the time. Sandwiches are sangers, sausages are bangers. Swimming suits are togs. And free or low cost barbecues are in most average parks, even throughout cities and suburbs.
I've always considered Aussie / NZ accents to just be very low-effort English.
It's a tough accent for us Americans!
That is true, putting too much effort into your speech makes you seem pompous.
@@twotravelingkings As I heard from an American voice coach when trying to do an Aussie accent say it like you are going to smile.
If you have an aussie accent its very hard to bring it to neutral. Its very hard to shake.
I'm a Sydney gal. We use sanga all the time :-)
It's fun to say 😊 thanks for watching!
@@twotravelingkings I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing too x
Love what you do glad you like Australia I am a true blue Aussie and that's fair dinkum keep up your good work
Nah, yeah mate thanks for watching!
Sorry is the first time I’ve been off work for like eight months I’m just watching some cool stuff thanks for the channel guys and sorry about so many comments
The more comments the better! It really helps out our channel so thank you :)
Jane, I noticed in this and other videos that you actually do a fairly good Aussie accent and in one of the coffee videos, you pronounced Melbourne the way we do here in Australia.
😊
Aussies in general take any noun, strip it to one syllable and then add a vowel, especially useful for names.
Sanger very common, also true blue but more for the older generation, goes with the users of corker, cobber etc.
👍
@@twotravelingkings agree, True Blue is more for older Australians, I guess we use it like Hero is used in the states. Think of it as someone who has lived as a true expression of Australian ideals. I wonder, without any evidence, if there is a connection to the Eureka flag and the rebellion - miners asserting themselves as seperate from the British. (The flag is blue with a southern cross).
Had me in stitches with the accents .
Hahaha 😆
"Jenny, can you please go fill up the Esky with some beer." Best Welsh accent ever :)
😊
A 'sanga' is often used to describe a general sandwich and used in this context "Hey Jen, whatcha havin for lunch?"..."Mate, just a sanga". But, we aussie's will say sandwich to describe in detail what it is e.g "You want some of me ham and cheese sandwich?". Then you have a toastie...lol - Great video!!
Haha thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed :)
@@twotravelingkings Sanga can also be used to describe a Sausage eg "a sanga sandwich" some of our words pull double duty so one has to listen to the context. Though for sausages we also use Sausie (pronounced as spelt or as Sozzie)
We shorten everything, as you have discovered eg, the Melbourne Cricket Ground is known as the MCG, however, that has been shortened to The G Also bathers are aka (swimming) togs
Yes everything is an acronym or a shortened version of the word, it's kind of easier once you know what it all means! 😊
Jenny's Aussie accent is almost perfect. Logan's has potential! Nice vid.
Haha yes Logan needs work lol
There's a town in the bush called Bogan Gate, and the Bogan River. Hence the term
Ah, okay makes sense!
At the time England was sending convicts to Australia, the City of Manchester was the hub of cotton production. So a lot of those products we're dubbed as ”Manchester” because they originated from there. Now it can be made anywhere and still be called Manchester in Australia and NZ for that matter. :)
Interesting! Thanks for sharing 😊
Aussie slang being informal can differ to locations or just people. For me it's a Snag sanga (sausage sandwich) but a ham and cheese sambo. If someone said something that was full of it, then it was a load of garbage but then I started working at the place I'm at now and now it's rubble. I was surprised when talking to my American cousins that they don't use the word fortnight which is 2 weeks - as in I get paid fortnightly.
Good to know!
in different states we have different slang words, for example i grew up in brisie so i call juice box (my friends in melbs call it that while i grew up calling it a poppa and drinking fountains are bubblers for me
Interesting!
People's names get either shortened or lengthened depending on the ending.
Dave becomes Davo. Sharon becomes Shazza. Ken gets to be Kenny.
I had an English couple ask me why we changed peoples names. I had to explain that if we just call you what your mother named you we are either being formal or we don't particularly like you. It's a sign of friendliness to give you a nickname.
I think it was called Manchester as that was one of the main spinning mill areas in England that made those products.
Sangers is an older word but it's still around.
Good to know!
Well done . Fun video. Manchester isn't slang its actual word Manchester uk as u correctly said . Was home to a massive textile industry. And hence one of the suburbs on that city is called spinningfields. Good job.
😊👍
A sausage Sanger. Barbequed sausage (not hot dog) with onion and tomato sauce wrapped in a slice of bread. Often bought from local kids sports fields or at Bunnings on the weekend as a fundraiser for local sport clubs or charities.
That sounds delicious! 😋 Would love to try it one day!
I luv you 2, you a smile upon me dial.
Thank you so much for watching that's so nice to hear 😊
Sanger is used mostly when referring to a sausage danger also called a sausage sizzle
Good to know!
Both of you are very friendly my friend ❤️
We try! 😊
Hey, that accent on bathers was IMPRESSIVE 😂
Thank you! 😁 We tried!
Bathers can be called "togs" or "swimming togs".
@@warwickmcdowall6611 togs much easier to say 😊
Very enjoyable. Looks like you’re in Newtown.
Indeed! Unfortunately were there at the start of lockdown but got to try all the delicious restaurants on King Street 😊
@@twotravelingkings Yeah, nah, I watched some of your other videos after that first one. All very entertaining. You guys are so polite an humble - as have been all the Americans I’ve met in Australia. All the best to you both.
Cozzie (swimming costume) is another way of saying Bathers or togs or Budgie Smugglers
👍
Fair dinkum, Great video guys.
Had to look "fair dinkum" up on Google! Thanks so much for teaching us a new phrase and for watching! 😊
No worries😉😂
We definitely say "sanger" here. (northern and inland NSW)
The term ‘True Blue’ means fair dinkum or genuine. John Williamson had a hit with a song of the same name ‘True Blue’ in which he explains what it means to be True Blue.
You guys are great so I formally promote you to 'strayans.Congrats Cobbers.Goodonya!
Cheers 😊
Well,shit.You replied.Come back,it's a better place if you're here.Watch some footy,go to Taronga.Cairns is nice this time of year.Enjoy yerselves mates!Eat kangaroo.
You said you haven't heard many people say these words, a lot of these phrases and words are very informal and not usually used in a professional environment. Also, most Aussies would avoid using this slang around you, as you are a foreigner and unlikely to understand them. We normally use these words and phrases to have quick a *convo* (Conversation) with someone to save time (Even if there is no reason to save time), therefore stopping to explain the *lingo* (slang) defeats the purpose of using it to begin with. *Fair Dinkum* (To be honest). I really enjoyed watching this video, and laughing at your attempt on our accent. thanks for visiting!
Cheers 😊
Sanger is usually a sausage as in Sanger sandwich, maybe that one is unique to certain regions much like bathers are called different things indifferent states.
👍👍
For ya next trip, come to Darwin, (the Top End). Amazing wilderness, people etc. you'll learn big mob more slang here. Love ya work.
Thanks! It's on the list 😊
Stone the crows that was bloody good mate. Fair dinkum!
😊 thanks for watching!
Well done haha good effort.
Cheers 😊
These videos are so entertaining. Your accents go kind of weirdly British at times, but accents are difficult. And yes, pash is making out and lollies are any small sweets except for chocolate or lollipops. Jenny, if you want good coffee cheaply get yourself a plunger (French press) and the fanciest ground coffee beans you can afford and experiment till it tastes right. That’s how I’m getting through Melbourne lockdown. I had no idea how to make coffee at home but after a couple of weeks I finally got it right and good coffee is back in my life again. If you guys open a post office box I will send you some. Girl, you can’t live without decent coffee. It’s just not right.
We lived in the UK for a bit which is probably where the hint of british accent is coming from 😂 I haven't worked up the courage to be an at home barista yet but this is encouraging! Glad you're enjoying at home delicious coffee, I may have to try that! 😊
Nice video. Bogan's are everywhere not just the outback. Slang is easier if the words art spelt how they sound 'Sanger" is "Sang-a" we say it in Melbourne, but you both did alright. A good tip is End words with "Y" an "O" or "D" Monday= Mun-d Tuesday= Tuse-d and so on. Christmas Presents= Chrissy Pressy and chuck an O on guys names like Rob-o Dave-o John-o. Take care
Haha fair enough
Guys your new aussie accents are coming along well at this stage. Please feel free to take the piss out of us aussies whenever you like, we don’t need that disclaimer rubbish at the start, you will know you are a true mate of ours when we take the piss out of you too. It’s just us showing our affection, so hava go ya mug!
Thanks for the video, ya pair of whackers! (Funny, entertaining fun people)
Thanks so much 😊
Fair dinkum, An honest person, a person of integrity. Are you fair dinkum mate, are you kidding.
Bathers! Not a bad accent, I'm impressed.
Jenny is spot on with “maaate” 👏
Cheers mate 😊
You two are priceless, and your enhusiasm and innocence have won me over. I've subbed now.
Having read all the comments to date, I can say I've learned a few here myself, even 43 years out of the States. It has also no doubt become obvious to you both that there's some difference of opinion about what means what! That's due mainly to the regional variations. A few that haven't been mentioned refer to occupations, such as "sparky" for electrician and "chippy" for carpenter, or "garbo" for garbage collector. Their meaning would be pretty clear to anyone, I reckon. The main thing is that slang is shorter and easier to say than the full word, and that's what it's all about, although some is just a way of celebrating being Aussie.
Keep up the good work, and let us know when you're coming back. You'd have shitloads of offers to put you up, for sure. No need to pay rent anywhere, and you'd learn more words as well as brushing up your accents!
Thanks for the kind words! Excited to come back when we can 😊
