Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... Australian and Bush Slang. Alderman Lushington, intoxicating drink. Beer or liquor of any kind is lush; to lush is to drink. Speaking of a person who is drunk, the "flash" fraternity say, "Alderman Lushington is concerned," or simply "He has been voting for the alderman." A lush-crib, or lush-ken, is a public-house. -- From Vaux's Memoirs. The term is imported into Australia by convicts. Anty-up, a game of ccirds. As they ride up, a savage-looking half-bred bull dog yelps hoarsely, and two or three men creep out from underneath the tarpaulin of the nearest dray, where they have been playing anty-up (a favourite game with cards) for tobacco. John recognises a teamster who has been employed by himself. -- D. Sladen. From ante, the stake with which the dealer at poker commences each hand before dealing the cards; he puts up a "chip" in front of him, hence the name. Make good tIir attte; the dealer, after looking at his hand, must either go out of the game and forfeit his ante, or must make it good by putting up a sum equal to it, so as to make his stake the same as that of the other players. Raising the a tile: any one at the time of "chipping in" to fill his hand may raise the ante, and the other players must then in turn make their stakes equal to the maximum so raised, or else must "run" and abandon what they have already staked. Artesian, colonial beer. People in Gippsland, Victoria, use artesian just as Tasmanians use easeade, in the sense of "beer," because the one is manufactured from the celebrated artesian well at Sale, Gippsland, and the other from the easeade water. Leutzner, Colonial English. I At that, meaning something in addition to, an intensive. Said to have originated in Pennsylvania, America, and to be a translation of...

Aussie Slang is a richly-textured, often ribald world of understatement and laconic humour. This guide aims to do three things; (a) to help the traveller decipher what they hear around them in everyday Australian life, (b) give the causal reader some insight into informal Australian culture, and (c) make a record of some old Australian expressions that are slipping into disuse now that English has become a global language. Readers will recognize both British and American terms in this list. Australian English has absorbed much from these two great languages. For depth of knowledge of their own language, no-body beats the British. Its their language after all. A thousand years in the making, the English language is embedded deep in the DNA of the British. No-one uses their language more skilfully than they do. On the other hand, American English has a creative power that recognizes no boundaries. Americans have taken a very good all-purpose language and extended it in all kinds of directions with new words describing the world as it is today. They do not generally cling to old forms out of respect for tradition. As Winston Churchill observed, Britain and America … two great nations divided by the same language. Australian English sits comfortably in the space between the two. Australian English began in the early days of settlement as English English with a healthy dash of Celtic influence from the many Scots, Irish and Welsh settlers who came to Australia. Large numbers of German settlers also came in the 1800's,and their influence on the language is also clearly evident. For over a hundred years, Australia developed in splendid isolation its unique blend of English, tempered by the hardships of heat and cold, deluge and drought, bushfires and cyclones. The harsh environment united people in a common struggle to survive. People helped each other. Strong communitarian loyalties were engendered. It is from this that the egalitarian character of Australia evolved. There is a strong emphasis on building a feeling of solidarity with others. Strangers will call each other "mate" or "luv" in a tone of voice ordinarily reserved for close friends and family in other parts of the world. Everyone was from somewhere else, and no-one was better than anyone else. A strong anti-authoritarian attitude became deeply embedded in Australian English. This was mainly directed towards their British overlords who still ran the country as a profitable colony. The Australian sense of humour is generally understated, delivered with a straight-face, and is often self-deprecating in nature. No-one wants to appear to be “up themselves”. Harsh or otherwise adverse conditions had to be met without complaint, so when discussing such conditions, it was necessary to do so with laconic, understated humour. Anyone not doing so was deemed a “whinger” (win-jer).Following World War II the American influence came increasingly to influence Australian culture and therefore the language. No-one is better at selling their popular culture to the world than the United States of America. Their pop culture is a beguiling instrument of foreign policy, so pervasive and persuasive it is. Young Australians enthusiastically embraced American culture, and since the 1940's the old established British language and customs have become blended with the American. If Australian English has a remarkable quality, it is the absence of regional dialects. It is spoken with relative uniformity across the entire nation. Brisbane on the East coast is a 4,300 kilometre (2,700 mile) drive from Perth on the West coast, yet there is little discernible linguistic difference between the two places compared with the difference, for example between Boston and San Francisco in the US. Nowhere else in the world do we see such linguistic uniformity across large distances.
