Would you dong some galah for bungin' it on?

How well do you sling the Aussie lingo?
Are there any slang terms common to your area that folks who aren't locals don't understand?

    I know one Aussie slang term - Fair Dinkcome. In central Vancouver Island we say 2 things someone thats not from the area might not understand "Up the Chuck" it means travailing up the Straight of Georgia by boat. And we also say "cheers" it means - to your good health. Cheers and happy weekend! This post was edited by Nanoose at April 30, 2017 6:52 AM MDT

    "Cheers" when clinking glasses is a Brit thing, common throughout the Commonwealth. Aussies do it too.
