I only really find out when I leave town.

The ridgey didge hand gesture is also a fantastic way to covertly find other australians in the area. They will 9/10 echo back at you with a laugh if you are in a foreign country.

Living in California means local slang doesn't stay local for very long.

It's hella lame.

'Fargo' accurately describes it.

Glice 02.09.2010 05:13 AM

"N'ahp" is a good one. It's a kind of half-arsed sound that means 'Oh yes?' or vague, non-committal assent.

They call woodlice 'Daddy Granfers' round here, which is a funny one because it was only relatively recently I realised that no-one else calls them that. Because, y'know, you don't talk about daddy granfers that much in the real world.

Here's some more words if you're interested.

I naturally refer to cigarettes as 'boys'. So do a good amount of my friends. I'm pretty sure that's local.

Ex: "Let me hit that boy."
Translation: "Give me a puff of your cancerous tobacco stick."

okay, this is not about english language, but nevermind. Where I come from, people say:

šrac = young fella, dude
čaja = young girl, mostly very good looking
bazmeg = something like "fucking hell!"
brička = tram

very unusual to regular slovak language. noone else except people of my town speak this way

i'm sure South London has loads of localised slang terms but as i dont speak to many people outside of South London i dont really know. Sgrumbo?

Glice 02.09.2010 06:39 AM

Northern France is often ridiculed for its accent, with "A" being replaced by "O", etc; not many people speak that way though, or at least not that extremely.

you are very right, wellcharge, it's obvious you've spent some time in Eastern Europe. "chaje" comes from gipsy language, and therefore it's unusual that people of my town adopted it as a regional slang.
bazmeg is a hungarian word, you are 100% correct.

out of those beers on your list, you should try Pilsner Urquell (sure shot...i'd be surprised if you hadn't tried that before), and Krusovice. Czechvar is just a shitty american way to say Budvar (who has been to a long lawsuit with Budweiser for the brand name, that's why they renamed it to Czechvar for the north american market). I don't like this particular brand, it gives you headache.
