Kerry:


Australia's mother tongue is English.

However, the peculiar version of English spoken by the inhabitants of the Great Southern Land is often convoluted and sometimes downright weird!

Here's a quote written in Aussie-speak. Every Australian would know exactly what it means, Heath included.


"G'Doy, moyt! You true-blue-dinky-doy? Yeah? Beaudy-bottlah, cobb-ah!"

What do you think it means?

Hint - Say it out loud to get that true Aussie sound. Be sure to place a pronounced upward inflection on the final word of each sentence. And try to make your voice sound as nasal as possible.  :laugh:

I'll post the translation in a couple of days, at which time a magnificent prize will be awarded to the nearest correct entry!

Have fun!  :D

Please no entries from Aussies, 'cause you'll give away the answer!  :-\  ;)

OK, I'll try:

"Greetings, dear friend.  Are you feeling well today?  I swear I haven't been drinking, officer."

Shakesthecoffecan:
"Hey dude, you been partying? Well give me some!"

I think that Aussie English has a lot of Galic in it.

Good day mate! You try to drink today? Yeah! Beauty parlor, did you?

And that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever  ;D
