Challenge
Teach us some slang words from wherever you're from.
This challenge is inspired by a series of Youtube videos by Vanity Fair called Slang School where different celebrities teach viewers different slang words from their homeland. So I wanted to see if anyone here had some slang words that they know or have used or have heard of from wherever you live or whatever place you grew up from. Trust me, there's an assortment of slang terms. Try to teach the readers at least 5 to 10 slang terms from your homeland or place that you grew up in and explain the meanings behind those slang terms.

How to Speak Like an Aussie

You know you love us... we mad folk from the land down under. And I fair dinkum reckon we have the best slang in the world. So whether you’re throwing some snags on the barbie or taking a dump on the dunnie or grabbing some grog from the bottle-o, here’s some Aussie slang you can use in your everyday convos. Enjoy!

Servo - service station. “Just got to stop at the servo to fill up.”

Piker - someone who leaves parties early. “Fuckin‘ Mitch, ay. What a piker.”

Sanger - sandwich. “What’s for lunch, mate?” “Vegemite sanger, mate.”

Grundies - underwear. “Yeh nah I’m decent. I’m just in my grundies ay.“

Bush hanky- when you clear your nose by holding one nostril closed and blowing the mucus out onto the ground from the other nostril. “You got a tissue?” “For fucks sake, mate. Just bush hanky it!”
