This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... Australian and Bush Slang. Alderman Lushington, intoxicating drink. Beer or liquor of any kind is lush; to lush is to drink. Speaking of a person who is drunk, the "flash" fraternity say, "Alderman Lushington is concerned," or simply "He has been voting for the alderman." A lush-crib, or lush-ken, is a public-house. -- From Vaux's Memoirs. The term is imported into Australia by convicts. Anty-up, a game of ccirds. As they ride up, a savage-looking half-bred bull dog yelps hoarsely, and two or three men creep out from underneath the tarpaulin of the nearest dray, where they have been playing anty-up (a favourite game with cards) for tobacco. John recognises a teamster who has been employed by himself. -- D. Sladen. From ante, the stake with which the dealer at poker commences each hand before dealing the cards; he puts up a "chip" in front of him, hence the name. Make good tIir attte; the dealer, after looking at his hand, must either go out of the game and forfeit his ante, or must make it good by putting up a sum equal to it, so as to make his stake the same as that of the other players. Raising the a tile: any one at the time of "chipping in" to fill his hand may raise the ante, and the other players must then in turn make their stakes equal to the maximum so raised, or else must "run" and abandon what they have already staked. Artesian, colonial beer. People in Gippsland, Victoria, use artesian just as Tasmanians use easeade, in the sense of "beer," because the one is manufactured from the celebrated artesian well at Sale, Gippsland, and the other from the easeade water.

A speaker of Standard English gets baffled when he hears two Australians talking informally in their Australian English, for they use hundreds of slang words in their conversation. These words are very much Australian and are obviously almost incomprehensible for a speaker of English language from other parts of the world.They use their slang terms and expressions so frequently that a non-Australian just remains a mute listener. He feels as if the speakers are using some kind of code language. Such slang words and slang expressions are frequently used by Australian sports commentators and actors in Australian movies. "Strine" is the other word that Australians use for 'slang.' In this dictionary we have included hundreds of Australian slang words and expressions with their definition, meanings, and use. We hope you will find this book very helpful to understand the Australian colloquial language.All the bestStudent World

Australian English has always been rich in slang and dialect words, many of which - dinkum for example - came out from Great Britain with the convicts and their meanings and pronunciation changed. Words from Indigenous languages, such as boomerang, began to be adopted and modified almost from the very first - and English words and phrases such as dead-finish were taken into Aboriginal languages, modified and loaned back to the English speakers. As time went by, words still in common use in Australia were no longer current in their country of origin, and so became Australianised.
