denHow well do you know your strine?
18/20, but they threw in a couple of terms I've never heard before. Must be Crow Eaters.

You're a bottler, mate!
You are a fair dinkum, ridgy didge, dinky die, true blue, dyed-in-the-wool Ocker-like strine speaker. Well bugger me, you could probably even play a didgeridoo and know the proper way to twirl a billy. Goodonya. Get us another stubbie while you're up, will ya... and have one yourself while you're at it!

Guess I need more practice...

You will have no trouble getting around, and understanding most things that are said to you. However avoid RSL clubs and old peoples homes, the nuances are lost on you."

Date: 13 Sep 2005 23:54 (UTC)Y'know, one thing that surprised me in some of the Strine quizzes and articles you've linked here, is that many of the expressions listed as Australian are also current in my neighborhood. Granted I live in a part of the US that was overrun by Canadians (both my grandfathers' familiy lines were Canadian), so there's considerable shared ancestry.
Not that any of the ones on this quiz are used around here, that I know.
