Oi! Oi! Oi!
Used by Australians in most of the circumstances where americans may chant U-S-A U-S-A.
This may be at one of the frequent moments of a fantastic sporting performance by an Aussie, or when nothing's happening.
Believed to have been derived from the Welsh 'Oggie Oggie Oggie - Oi Oi Oi!', which might actually mean something...
Seems to have peaked during the 2000 sydney olympics.
Occasionally repeated several times consecutively, the 'Oi' chorus growing louder with each calling.

An exclamation followed by the response: Oi! Oi! Oi!
Made by Australians when feeling particularly patriotic especially during sporting events.
Also heard frequently voiced by Australians overseas. For example, when visiting Aussie themed pubs in London, England.
Exact origin unknown but early instances were observed during Olympic swimming events prior to 2000.

Similar to the 80's Olympic chant of "U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A!", derived from the 'Oggy! Oggy! Oggy!' original. A highly embarrassing chant enjoyed particularly by Sydneysiders during the 2000 Sydney Olympics ad nauseum. Also used at the Cronulla beach wars. The chant was used to conjure up corny, smiley gung-ho 'Australianess' as opposed to being "un-Australian". When sung backwards, sounds like:
-"White Australia policy!"
-"Bring it back!".

is a cheer or chant often performed at Australian sport events. It is a variation of the Oggy Oggy Oggy chant used by both Soccer and rugby fans in Britain from the 1970s onwards. It is usually performed by a crowd, uniting together to cheer for their national sports team or athlete. The alternate is for an individual to chant the line "Aussie, Aussie Aussie!" and the crowd to respond with "Oi! Oi! Oi!".
Man: "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!"
Crowd: "Oi! Oi! Oi!"
Man: "Aussie!"
Crowd: "Oi!"
Man: "Aussie!"
Crowd: "Oi!"
Man (much faster): "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!"
Crowd (equally fast): Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!!
