Welcome to another edition of Aussie slang! We have to keep this one short since we have to run to the shops for some durries!
But a longer post is coming! We hope you enjoy today's! Please feel free to tell us some funny words and phrases that you use or have heard in the comments from other countries or from Oz!
Words are fun, let's share them! <3
Whinge
This is a word that I have come to know very intimately because a lot of people like to have themselves one.
It means to complain, bitch, nag, whine or bemoan, usually in a drawn-out fashion.
The stereotype of a wife following her husband around while complaining about the color of the sky and how loud he is breathing comes to mind.
"Are you going to just stand there and have a whinge?"
Yes. Yes, they are.
Suss
This means that something or someone appears suspect or suspicious.
Good examples are but are not limited to:
- Counting money outside of a hotel or home of ill-repute
- Peering into a parked car
- Wearing a hoodie and sunglasses into a place of business
- A Thai massage parlor with late hours and red neon signage...
In a sentence: "Stop doing that, it looks suss as!" (as= as fuck/hell)
Put The Wind Up...
To put the wind up something/someone is to "put the fear in them".
Basically, it means to make someone nervous or fearful by a deliberate action.
A driver in the lane next to you isn't paying attention? Swerve at them. That'll put the wind up 'em.
Someone coming at you in a threatening manner that seems suss? Stomp your foot and make yourself appear larger. That'll put the wind up 'em.
Pozzy
This one took a while for me to figure out in context!
A pozzy is a position or spot. Sometimes even used as a hypothetical ranking position. Not unlike putting someone "in their place".
But for the most part, a pozzy is a reference to a physical seat. Be it for dinner, viewing the television, or for watching a sporting event. It actually originates from sporting event seating!
In the event of someone stealing your pozzy, it is socially acceptable to beat them out of it. (I assume.)
As always thank you for reading and we hope you like what we brought to the blockchain today! Please leave your feedback in the comments! We love to hear it!! Stay tuned for Microscopic Mondays, Drones, and silliness!
