Colloquialisms - 'A Guide To The Aussie Lingo'

Australians can often suffer from cultural cringe, but their adaptations of English words are quite an interesting and endearing part of Australian society and every day life. Some one who is unashamedly "Australian" in their mannerisms is said to be "ocker". Another name for this type of Australian would be a "true blue" or "fair dinkum Aussie" or "Ozzie"
