Ha ! Not bad, but, i'm afraid we don't use many of those nicer swear words anymore, unless we are in the library..and what sort of wanker would be caught in there ?

Hmmm, well. If someone is named Steve they instantly get Stevo, Stevie would be too girlish unless he is a young feller, then it's acceptable. You wouldn't call Stevo the truck driver Stevie unless you wanted to get sorted out (beat up). Whereas Mike would get Mikey (not Mickey..Mike-e) Mick or The Mickster. You can't call a Mike Mike-o, it just doesn't work. Unless you want to get sorted out. Rick can be a Ricko and a Rickster but not a Ricky..that's for girls. You'll get sorted.
Afternoon can be Arvo, Arvie or t'sarv (this arvie), afternoon is for wankers and people who wear ties (Wankers).
Barbie is easy because BarBEque.
Tinnie is only for beer, never soft drink, even though both cans are alooominum. Small alooooominum boats are also called tinnies.
Bottlo..because who the hell says bottle shop..wankers, that's who.
Whoa! Whoa! What?! It's Aluminium! Bloody aluminum....I didn't fight in 5 world wars for...well I just didn't fight in five world wars. But if I did, I would have not taken this sitting down. You're lucky...

Al-yu-minyum.
I saw some yank show years ago and i didn't click what aloooooooominum meant or even was for a few minutes, when it did drop i was like a-LOOOOOOOM-inum, it's weird and sort of freaky to say, i had to say it loud a few times, must have looked like a right idiot sitting there saying a-LOOOOOOM-inum while watching whatever it was. I always use it know to take the p/ss at guys who keep saying we are becoming more and more americanised

Now, 'Nigel' is another Aussie term that has significant meaning ... these are not my words, but only what I have been told and lent to believe
A 'Nigel' has developed through the process of, and in no particular order..
Inbreeding ..shagging your first cousin twice removed by your second cousin. And I truly mean they pulled you out twice to have a crack themselves.
Repetitive use of the word 'Wanker'. It can be said jovially and light hearted but if repeated to you more than once in your lifetime .. Trust me, you are a Wanker!
Tool ... see above. As well, someone who thinks they can but cant so they don't.
A person you can take the micky out of but does not realise nor care .. They are a 'Nigel'
Our most sincere meaning.. Gutter Snake ... Lowest form of human life ... eg: Can't get any lower than a snake's belly slithering the gutter which deposits waste ... No true Aussie wants anything to do with them. They don't count!
Those of us in the states who live in the sticks (bush) make fun of the big city 'hunters' and their accessories, too.

Do you guys in Australia have Outback Steakhouse?
