Slang dictionary

[SpeedPocok5]

I'm searching a slang dictionary that tells you from where is the slang word (from USA, UK, Australia...)

 

[Pacifica]

I just did a quick Google search and found this. I don't know how good or how complete it is as I'm not familiar with it, but I reckon it can at least be of some use. Otherwise, there's this, which is a general dictionary, not specialized in slang, but it does include many slang words and provide geographical information where applicable.

 

[cinefactus]

The second one has Australian slang.

 

[Pacifica]

And more.

What Australian slang word did you use to check if it was there? Just curious.

 

[Issacus Divus]

I know an Australian slur, but I'm not going to say it. But it's technically slang...I guess?

 

[Pacifica]

but I'm not going to say it

Oh, come on. Won't you satisfy my linguistic curiosity?

 

[Issacus Divus]

Won't you satisfy my linguistic curiosity?

Well, the word I was thinking of is "ranga".

 

[Pacifica]

Oh, I like it! The etymology!

 

[Issacus Divus]

How is that supposed to hurt anyone? Australians and their lame insults.

yobbo, bogan, sheila, (cobber, although that isn't contemporary Australian). I just also checked: bozo isn't there or piss up, but westie is. Drongo is another old fashioned word, blotto, drop bear.

Well, being compared to an ape isn't exactly flattering.

Thanks. I had forgotten that Australians like creating words in -o.

For some reason, "yobbo" is labeled British and the geographical origin of "blotto" isn't mentioned.

 

[Issacus Divus]

That's so lame and useless.

 

[Pacifica]

Please try to make the referents of your pronouns clear. What is so lame and useless? The orangutan insult? Another of the words mentioned? The dictionary?

What I said before. It’s such a joke of an insult.

 

[Matthaeus]

A word that fell into disuse in the States is "cornhole". oh, and you don't really hear words like "pecker[head]" amd "twerp" anymore. Well, just sayin'.

 

[Pacifica]

"pecker[head]"

Lol, look at the phrase here.

 

[Matthaeus]

yeah, the British one

 

[cinefactus]

It isn't an insult, it is just a derogatory epithet. These kinds of epithets are not necessarily insulting in Australia.

 

[Issacus Divus]

Well, alright.
