Also: hoon (a rude driver), texta (marker), barbie (can't believe you don't have this!)... there are more for sure. (Lived in Oz for a while. *gryn*)

I never heard these, actually. That might be because when I was there it was a generation ago. I never actually heard anyone saying barbie when I was there, except in a self-consciously stereotypical Aussie way. To me it seemed far more of a word they trotted out to please the tourists. But again, this was a generation ago. *shakes head in wonder*

Hoon is very Melbourne and has less currency elsewhere, though people would understand it. Texta...tick. Barbie...among the people I mix with it's probably barbecue that would seem forced.
Come back, fuzzbutt!

Oddly, I've heard texta and I've not been anywhere near Australia.

@bilby: Interesting! But I lived in Melbourne for a significant time so that would explain it!
