2. Strine
Australianisms, similar to Cockney Rhyming Slang, but spoken with the accent of the Australian drawl. Strine is almost never written except to illustrate the terms. Examples were compiled into a book called "Strine" by "Afferbeck Lauder" (alphabetical order).
Emma Chiset (how much is it?)
egg nishner (air conditioner)
howzat!?!? (how's that!?!? - screamed by cricketers when they get a batter out)

Bloody foreigners - don't they speak strine?
3. Strine
A word coined by Americans to describe the Australian accent. This word is not used by Australians, and American tourists who use it in Australia soon learn not to. See also cobber.
Yank tourist: "I gotta brush up on my Strine!"
Me: "Strine? Hmmm, a sucker... Hey mate, you wanna buy a galah for 50 grand?"
Yank tourist: "Yeah, sure will buddy!"
(I walk away 50 grand richer while Yank tourist gets 10 years for exporting wildlife that farmers shoot as a pest!)
