the longer Europeans live in the Australian outback the worse their hayfever gets - the indigenous people welcome all strangers but if you want to live there you have to aclimatise which could take as long as they did, 40,000 years
This is a great slang word from Down
Under![Comment by: The Critic Rated:5/5 ]
.... "great slang from Down Under"?
Just like "struth" and "yew beauty", I
have honestly never heard ANYONE say it
in my life without them being kidding.
In fact, I've NEVER heard of
"Aborigine's Revenge" until I found this
website.[Comment by: Emily Rated:1/5 ]

it is racist to say it, if anyone did.

Never ever heard this, and i have lived
in AUS for 40 years[Comment by: Li Rated:1/5 ]
Sorry to break it to you, but this is
Aussie humour, designed to test to see
how stupid you are. I mean Outback
Hayfever? come on[Comment by: wooloomooloo ]

In 44 years in australia I have never
heard this slang . I think the author
of this page is not an Australian and
is making his own creativity on some of
these terms[Comment by: tom ]
this is not something that is said
anymore[Comment by: kiarra ]
omg ive never heard any1 say this in
australia, and i live here.. we call it
beer like every1 else[Comment by: josh ]
Amber necter? Wtf is that?? Did some
American go make up "Australian" slang
again?[Comment by: AussieChick Rated:1/5 ]
I've been here since I was born and i've
never heard it called Amber Nectar[Comment by: Borgey ]
Sorry to break it to you guys but it
actually did used to be called this and
still is if you travel around oz.[Comment by: Sparki ]
I'm Australian and I've certainly heard
it, though it's
not common.[Comment by: Gairlochan ]
I thought it was amber fluid[Comment by: Mamaa ]
Ive lived in australia all my life and
never heard this one. Ive heard booze
and grog but not amber nectar that is
not current slang[Comment by: tom ]
amber nectar is the wrong word and
this website is hosted in Canada not
Australia.Ive never heard that word used
for beer. The proper aussie slang for
beer is grog or booze or piss[Comment by: mick ]
Amber necter ?? Lmfao thats hilarious
never ever heard of it and im aussie as
it gets! hhmm the word "goon" is
pretty common way to refer to beer =] [Comment by: 100 percent Australian born and bred =] ]
Goon isn't beer, goon is only used when
refering to really really cheap cask
wine[Comment by: Alex ]
I thought that was the "Aussie wave?"
Anyway, we don't actually use this in
normal convo, but we do do it a hell of
a lot![Comment by: Emily Rated:2/5 ]

Who cares if you've never said it in
Australia?! He put whatever he wants on
his flippin' "barbie".
...
Ew.[Comment by: Nat ]
We don't have 'shrimps' in Australia in
any case - they're called prawns.[Comment by: jess ]

numbing retards! i can spell better then
all of you and i'm in junior high! dehr

haha, i believe you meant "better than"[Comment by: amy ]
I'm not from OZ, but I'm pretty sure
this
refers to the "bush telegraph" i.e. the
mysterious ways that news and gossip get
passed around in remote places. Not
literally smoke signals as once used by
American Indians.[Comment by: dbeierl ]
no, it means that there's nothing to do
when you've gone bush but to sit around
a campfire and spend time with
everyone... like one does with a telly
when you're at home. [Comment by: suzi ]
No one in Australia calls it 'down
under' this
is embarrassing, and it is what the
American's say. [Comment by: mate Rated:1/5 ]
Absolutely correct. It is American
slang for
Australia. No one said Aussies use it.
:P[Comment by: Twisted Rated:5/5 ]
No one in New Zealand calls you this
either, or us for that matter. aussie is
"west island" :D[Comment by: Jimmyjoe ]
So what do you Ozzies call us?
Antipodeans? Tell me we're not
Pommies...
;-) Incidentally, what about that song
from
?Men at Work? that talks about "a land
down under?"[Comment by: dbeierl ]
"F*ck I'm Good - Just Ask Me". Acronym for conceited people.
Actually I think you will find this one
is F%^k i'm good, just ask mum.[Comment by: wanderer ]
again! no, that's what it means!!!
FIGJAM is just ask me.
It means the person loves themselves.
It might mean things in other countries
but thats what figjam means in
australia.[Comment by: suzi ]
I think this is actually irish[Comment by: ng400 ]
Strictly speaking grog is the mixture of
rum and water that was issued daily to
the enlisted men on shipboard in the
British Navy until fairly recently ('70s
maybe?). The water was so that it
wouldn't keep and would have to be
consumed reasonably promptly. I
believe the actual rum content of the
grog issue in the 18th century was half
a pint per man per day. (!)[Comment by: dbeierl ]
