Every group has certain slang words, but Australia is famous for it. I've been curious why that is? Was it due to it being isolated? Was it due to a pioneer spirit that wanted to thumb their collective noses at England? Was is an accident? Was there an influence from the native population? Just a curiosity, or maybe I have too much time on my hands.
