Sure, we supposedly spoke the same language, English, but there were so many parts of the Aussie sentence that completely baffled me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was understandable, and equivalent to foreigners\u2014even those with a good grasp of English\u2014being completely bamboozled by Cockney, or the dialects of the British regions. In Britain you can travel 20 miles into another county and be completely unable to understand what the residents there are saying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, Cockneys are very adept at \u2018rhyming slang\u2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guide to Cockney Rhyming Slang<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apples and Pears = stairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bees and honey = money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bottle and stopper = copper (police man or woman).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Butcher&#8217;s hook = look.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duck and dive = hide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dog and bone = phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kettle and hob = watch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mince pies = eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I am led to believe that post-WWII and through to the 1970s, rhyming slang was still very popular in Australia. My favourite phrase that I heard when I arrived in 1969 was, \u2018Whistle and flute\u2019, for \u2018Suit\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, it\u2019s not just slang that gets newcomers confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To pay my rent and bills, I was a courier driver in London when I first moved over to London in 1987 to attempt to become a rock star. Delivering to a south-London corporation one day, the lags working in the Loading Bay were very friendly and helpful, especially when I dropped what I was carrying and bent over, clutching my kneecaps, laughing uproariously to a phrase one of the lags had said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Well, go to the foot of my stairs\u2019. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had absolutely no idea what it meant, but I had tears from laughing. The lag who said it wouldn\u2019t tell me what it meant, so to this day I still laugh. I <em>could<\/em> Google it, of course, but I\u2019m sure finding what it means will destroy the magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in 1983, came the phenomenally successful (in Australia) comedy sketch \u2018Australiana\u2019, recorded live at a Sydney comedy venue (Tayshus and Birmingham). It was number one in the Australian charts for eight weeks and was almost religiously quoted by Boomer males at bbqs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Here\u2019s some of the skit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mate,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boomerang\">Boomer, rang<\/a>.

Like \u2018The Young Ones\u2019 and \u2018Monty Python\u2019, many (mostly male and inebriated) Aussies would recite the skit completely at parties and bbqs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, let us not forget, there\u2019s well-used Australianisms such as, \u2018Classic!\u2019, \u2018Bonza\u2019, \u2018G\u2019day\u2019, and the absolutely standard-issue phrase, \u2018Shit yeah!\u2019 (White Power).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of which leads us to the pinnacle of Aussiedom\u2014the full-bloodied and full-throated Aussie legends Dame Edna Everage (Everage) and my personal hero and role model, Sir Les Patterson (Sir Les Patterson). Their friend, the late Barry Humphries, added to the Australian language with such gems as, &#8216;parking the tiger&#8217;, &#8216;technicolour yawn&#8217; and &#8216;driving the porcelain bus&#8217; (all of which are, of course, euphemisms for vomiting after drinking heavily, also an Aussie pastime).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australiana, you\u2019re soaking in it.
