Did you know that the word “selfie” came from down-under? Australians love to shorten their words. Aussies love to have a bonza yarn (chat). But, they want to make it quick…or maybe they are just bludger. Watever the reason, abbreviations are an essential part of being a “true blue” aussie. The term for aussie slang 'n' pronunciation is strine, 'n' it is often characterized by making words as short as possible; the story goes it developed by speaking through clenched teeth to avoid blowies (blow flies) from getting into the mouth.
In preparation for traveling to down-under, study up your slang 'n' favorite sayings to teach us.
