How to Speak Australian!

Aussie English Examples

agro:

Short for 'aggravated'. Mentally torn in such a fashion that anger is induced, and perhaps violence as well.
 

fair enough:

Acceptance and understanding.

suss/sussy:

Short for suspicious or suspect. However, also used to investigate or research.
 

piss-up:

A party. A huge gathering to celebrate.


rough:

Something that has taken an un-normal approach or result to vaguely meet the primary goals and objectives. As in, “she's pretty rough,” could mean that she (i.e., car, Sheila, etc.) is hard to look at without comment of criticality. Or, an effort to generalize the approximate target. For example, if meeting your 'mate' at 5pm (1700), one might consider stating, “ C'ya arvo, roughly 5.”
