Strine

Australianisms, similar to Cockney Rhyming Slang, but spoken with the accent of the Australian drawl. Strine is almost never written except to illustrate the terms. Examples were compiled into a book called "Strine" by "Afferbeck Lauder" (alphabetical order).

Emma Chiset (how much is it?)
egg nishner (air conditioner)
