    What are your favorite Aussie sayings, slang or idioms?

    "We didn't come here to f@ck spiders!"

    "Bloody oath"

    "She"ll be right"

    Dont answer any questions in a normal way. Like how you going is not bad.

    We also use the word c*nt in so so many ways.
    Many positive. Like mad c*unt, sick c*unt.
    But tell you what you dont wanna be called a sh*it c*nt!

    Oh, I understand; I damn sure do.

    I'm originally from Southern Ohio and not everyone living there is a Hillbill....

    Do you have a hard time understanding the accents of English speaking people from other countries? If so what ones?

    Not really... some thick spanish or south american accents maybe.
    Actually alot of us struggle to understand heavy irish accents

    I hope those things have nothing to do with being Australian. I wouldn't say a lot of people I know live like that or do/say those things!

    Port adelaide is still technically adelaide and is full of bogans.

    Agreed. Dont think bogan is the right name though.... ferral maybe?? They are a unique breed down that way.
