Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Dear , Good link, I mostly agree on the entries BUT I've never heard of NS Welshmen being called 'Cockroaches' ! We're more likely to call a sausage a 'Banger' rather than 'Snag' ...we eat 'Bangers n' Mash' or a 'Barbie Banger' or even a 'Soddie' ..don't know where 'sang' went to in common usage! Suitcase = Port (as in Portmanteau) in NSW, while ns & South Austrailans say 'Suitcase' 'cos THEY like to think they're a rung up the ladder on the rest of us ! Bathing Suit (for swimming in!) = Togs/Swimmers/Bathers in VIC & S.A. (AGAIN for same reason as above!!!)/ Budgie Smugglers are for the fellas in the old fashioned Speedos (young blokes these days wear 'Boardies' = Board Shorts...young blokes are Sooooo SHY!) Need I say more........................ Check ya later!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I thought a 'sanger' was Oz slang for a sandwich.
