Australian English: noted for its tendency to abbreviate, its humour, and its tell-it-as-it-is forthrightness (!) & evidenced in the OED’s new Australian additions. Australian speech is by no means light on when it comes to colloquialisms & we've included pash rash, strain the potatoes, grog on, no wuckers & no wucking furries. Oxford Languages | OUP Oxford University Press Australia & New Zealand #australianenglish https://lnkd.in/gwPPmfxw
No wuckers! It’s all Aussieness* from the Oxford English Dictionary
