Strining
The act of speaking
"Strine" (the fast, heavily slurred
Australian slang) where entire sentences are fused into a single, lazy string of sound, often with almost closed lips.
This typically happens when an Australian gets overly excited, emotional, or forgets they are talking to a non-Aussie.

Arthur from Oxbridge and Jack from Brisbane were having a civilized chat about cricket. But as soon as Jack got excited about the final score, his English completely
disintegrated into a blur of sound.
Arthur: "Excuse me, Jack, could you please slow down? You're strining again and I haven't understood a single word since you said 'G'day."
