7/31/2019 Appendix-Australian English Dated Vocabulary

1/15

Many distinctive Australian words have been driven to or near to extinction in recent decades

under the homogenising influence of mass media and imported culture, because of changes in

fashion, or have fallen into disuse as society changes. Those who like or use these words regrettheir passing but informal vocabulary is by nature ephemeral. Others who use these words do so

ironically.

Some examples:

around the traps around one's usual haunts. Formerly quite common, but now declining.It was famously used by ARL boss Ken Arthurson when news of a Super league wasemerging in Rugby League during the 90's, "Word around the traps".

Bodgie a male member of a 1950s rock 'n' roll subculture, somewhat similar to theUS greasers and British rockers. Now only historical.

bonzer excellent (almost extinct). Probably from the Spanish word bonanza, by wayofAmerican English. Also spelt bonza.

cobber friend, mate, "G'day, cobber". Not frequently used. cooee! a shouted greeting or long-distance contact call, used as when searching for a lost

person, esp. in the bush. Also in the colloquial phrase "not within cooee", meaning "a longway off". Used in conversation to recapture the attention of someone you were talking to."Cooeee Brian, are you listening?" Once ubiquitous, now becoming less common.

traps, trappers orjacks police. These Australianisms have been largely replaced by theinternational cops, coppers, pigs or bacon. However the older, moreaffectionate wallopers is also still used.

drongo an idiot (usage in decline). Either referring to the drongo bird which haveextravagantly flared tails and cavort noisily in groups as part of their mating habits, but also,possibly an indirect derivation, from the name of a remarkably unsuccessful racehorse.

furphy a lie or rumour. Furphy was the supplier of water carts to the AustralianArmy in World War I. Much like modern day water coolers, the carts became meeting pointsand rumour mills.

galah a fool (survives, but in decline), from the bird. Almost always used in combinationwith 'bloody'. "You bloody galah!" (You bloody idiot!) This word has been used incommercials against drunk driving; "Don't be a galah!".Alf Stewart

map of TassieFemale pubic hair. Tassie being short for Tasmania and used for the generalsimilarity in shape of the map to this part of the anatomy. First appears in the 1980s. Not incommon usage, but stable.

Mollydookera left handed person.

Nasho

adjective and noun, pertaining to National Service or conscription for militaryservice esp. in 1960s.

Sharpie member of a 1960s and 1970s teenage subculture. Probably from "sharplydressed" and/or a reference to the use of knives.

struth! (sometimes spelt strewth) expression of shock or dismay (replaced by strongerexpletives such as "fuck!" or "shit!"). Possibly ofShakespearean origin, "God's Truth". Alsoused in Britain. Other older expletives of English origin such as "cripes", "my oath" and

"blimey" are also dying out.
