The following are results from an OZ-words Competition where entrants were asked to take an Australian word, alter it by one letter only, and supply a witty definition.
Clearly, you need to be an Aussie to understand.
Billabonk:
to make passionate love beside a waterhole
Bludgie:
a partner who doesn't work, but is kept as a pet
Dodgeridoo:
a fake indigenous artefact
Fair drinkum:
good-quality Aussie wine
Flatypus:
a cat that has been run over by a vehicle
Mateshit:
all your flat mate's belongings, lying strewn around the floor
Shagman:
an unemployed male, roaming the Australian bush in search of sexual activity
Yabble:
the unintelligible language of Australian freshwater crustaceans
Bushwanker:
a pretentious drongo, who reckons he's above average when it comes to handling himself in the scrub
Crackie-daks:
'hipster' tracksuit pants.
And for the Kiwi's amongst us:
Shornbag:
a particularly attractive naked sheep.
