Country specific slang?
 

Okay i'm just noticed that people who don't live in aus (and some who DO) don't know what I mean when i say someone is a Dag or daggy... Though it should have come to me earlier as I use to call my friend Hannah a daggy child and she didn't know what i meant at first... but yes. It got me to thinking what slang do YOU use that people don't get?

So for me it's Dag/gy - silly person (that about sums it up lol)

I've noticed UK peoples saying that's... Well good or something like that. Using Well as really or something.

So... yes. What do YOU use?

When I first moved to Scotland everyone kept saying "what's the crack?" And I thought they were asking me if I had any crack cocaine!!!
Boy was my face red when I found out what it meant!

Crack = news/gossip/what's going on etc

Tormented, it was probably craic they were saying, not crack :)

Ned is an old favourite too, along with numpty (although that got me in trouble once).

What's it meeeeeean?

Ned? Or numpty?

A Ned is a Non Educated Delinquent, Scottish equivalent of a chav (almost). A numpty, well, generally means someone's an idiot, eejit, silly person etc..

i say people are dags meaning the same as you jess.
there is also a (quite rude) new zealand saying "rattle your dags" which means hurry up.
you can look up why it's rude :p

aussie slang and new zealand slang aren't all that different... aussie's are better though... heheheh

Dag's = Sheep bottom dreadlocks >.<

erin i wont ask how you know its a sheeps ass :p

Yeh Shona,

Don't know what you think but I've found Ned seems to be more East of Scotland saying whereas numpty seems to be more Glasgow or west of Scotland!

Didn't realise it was Non Educated Delinquent mind (although i do like)

you just watch yourself there young lady.....

I grew up in the country on a farm.

where to start because sharlies = common

Ey up - hello basically (northern)
also people like to call each other ducks round here, you alright duck?

I dunno whether its so much as slang as the accent round my town is attrocious

Babby - baby
pram - pushchair
chav
ay it, innit - isn't it
blag - something that is irritating or to blag something off someone, to get something off someone

My brains dead but will prob think of some more.

Pram is an aussie thing too :) or stroller!

Thongs... lol in aus a thong is a 'flip flop'. I got in trouble with that one when i moved to the usa :P lol

And chlo... don't be jealous... you know it's true!

*ignores jess*

pram comes from the old british name, perambulator, for those old fashioned prams with the big wheels where the baby lies flat.

I knoooooooooow :P

*dances in front of chlo* you know i'm awesome!

ooooh, dancing. *oggles jess*

omg, there are sooo many welshy things, and for some reason my mind has now gone dead!

Buggy - pushchair
innit - isn't it
blad - umm, not too sure what it is really, other than a friendly term chavs use. . or abuse if yr not a chav!"alrite blad!"
cootch(dont know how to spell it!) - a hug
bang - lend, like "bang us a smoke" lend me a fag!

yea, brain dead now! there must be millions of slang things i use everyday tho!
