Australian Slang

King pin : leading figure, considered a big shot

 

 

 

Kiss my a--e : exclamation of disbelief

 

 

 

 

Larrikin : lout, harmless prankster, a bloke who is always enjoying himself

[thied]

Bogan : person with low esteem, doesn't take pride in his or her appearance, spends most of his or her days slacking and drinking alcohol

[Bella cruiser]

I've always heard of it as such, too. Here's a copy and paste from me: :D

 

"But in Australia, it can be a term of endearment. It depends on the context, and your tone of voice. If someone dresses like a loser, you could call him a dag.

BUT - if someone says something funny, you can turn around and laugh and say 'you're a dag' - but in that context you mean 'you're a card', a character, a wag, etc."

 

I much prefer it as a nice saying. :)

 

When I was young I think a dag was an uncool person, a nerd or someone who dressed unfashionably.

 

I never got the friendly meaning as I belieive the saying originated from the name called to the filthy, matted, soiled fleece around a sheep's butt:eek: That never seemed very friendly to me.:)

[thied]

Scab : an abusive term for a non union worker

 

 

 

Scrubbers : wild cattle; promiscuous women

What does your last post mean???

With 56 posts to this thread I think we must congratulate Thied on what must be a "World Record for the greatest number of posts to a Thread with over 100 posts".

This represents 34% of posts which is a great achievement for someone to whom much of the content applies. Hang on stone the crow's cobber I must be as big a drongo for counting them.
