Australian slang dictionary

[Kire]

It wasn't easy but we've tried to include uniquely Australian slang here and to exclude British and American slang even though these are commonly used in Australia. We see no point in informing the world that "fridge" is Australian slang for a "refrigerator". If you've got any comments or suggestions, though, we'd very much like to hear them.

5. I looked for a Canadian dictionary

Oddly there isn't one, really... just this one page, which by the way I think if bloody well sponsored by Tim Horton's and maybe Pepsi, cause I've never heard someone call a French Canadian one.

I was chatting about guys with an American friend who went 'huh?' when I was talking about someone who'd *put the hard word* on me. I thought that was a universal one...
