Cheers, Angela Australian Terms/Slang Arvo - afternoon Barbie - BBQ Beaut - beautiful, awesome, great, wonderful Bewdy - as in ‘awsome, great’ Biccies - biscuits. The same as cookies Bikie - biker, person who rides motorcycles. Bloke/s - man/men Bloody - a swear word ‘no bloody good’, in place of ‘no damned good’ Boofhead - idiot, simpleton, etc. It’s an insult, though sometimes we use it as a term of affection. It depends on how it is said and meant. Boot (of a car) - trunk Budgie smugglers - men’s bathers, small, brief and tight-fitting Buggered - many Aussie use it as a slang word for ‘broken’ (it’s buggered), ‘tired (I’m buggered), and ‘no way’ (I’m buggered if I’m going to do that). Just some examples Bung/Bunging - as in ‘bunging onto something’, putting on something (bung veggies on a plate, putting veggies on a plate), usually in a careless or ‘easy’ manner.
