🇦🇺 Slang from Australia

How people talk in Australia.

bludger

Someone who's lazy and dodges work or effort, often leaving others to pick up the slack. A 'dole bludger' is someone people reckon is living off welfare without trying to get a job.
Get off the couch and help with the dishes, you bludger.

snag

A sausage, usually the kind you throw on the barbie. Think backyard cookouts or the classic sausage in bread at a fundraiser.
Chuck a few more snags on the barbie, the footy crew just turned up.

sanga

Just a sandwich. It's the casual Aussie way of saying it, like you'd grab one for lunch or from the bakery.
I'm starving, gonna grab a ham and cheese sanga from the servo.

devo

Short for 'devastated', but people almost always use it jokingly about something small that let them down. You're not actually heartbroken, just a bit bummed.
The café ran out of banana bread before I got there, I'm devo.
