Well here we are at another Wednesday so it is time for some Aussie Slang of these ones the only one I haven’t used is number 3 Dead Horse although I can remember my grandfather saying it when I was a child.
Compo……Workers Compensation Pay
Daks……Trousers or pants
Dead Horse…..Tomato Sauce
Deadset…..True or the truth
Dero…….Tramp, Hobo, Homeless person as in derelict
Dearest Jo-Anne,
Having worked several times in Victoria, of course we’ve heard several of them.
G’day Mate is one memory received from one of the crew leaders when I left… It sits here on the windowsill in the veranda, a leather water bag with a cork in—made from ceramic. Water of course is essential to survive in such remote areas.
Hugs,
Mariette
I used the word dero yesterday and my daughter didn’t know what it meant and I had to explain what it meant.
