josie67 Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Ok, I have been seeing these 2 terms now for 8 months, and being an ignorant Yank, What the hell do those mean anyways? :-D
El Presidente Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Tosser = Wanker & Blowhard. The guy who tells you exactly how good he is when all you asked for were directions to the bathroom. Reprobate = loveable rogue. An endearing individual who loves life and has a certain Rat with a gold tooth quality.
Phailure Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 I've been wondering the same thing. Now I've finally been enlightened! Heh... wanker... now thats a classic word.
skid11 Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 » Ok....what about getting Rogered? Roy Rogers................................. Doesn't everybody ?
El Presidente Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Rogered= rooted Best analogy is when your wife finds this forum ;-)
harwellplant Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 wow, i am glad you clarified that. seriously. tosser gets used here as in "saladtosser" - a TOTALLY different concept.
smokeswirl Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 SO tossers is a bad thing and a reprobate is good. And Rogered means rooted. What does Rooted mean. LOL. Uncovered? Found out? Unearthed. Blimey
Loki Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 » wow, i am glad you clarified that. » » seriously. tosser gets used here as in "saladtosser" - a TOTALLY » different concept. Sphincter-lingus is a good definition
El Presidente Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Rooted = completely screwed. We may have to puliblish an Aussie term dictionary as a FOH accompaniment. ;-) Crikey!
Van55 Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I think "tosser" derives from British slang for masturbating, "tossing off."
Ken Gargett Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 this brings back memories. when i worked in DC, every friday morning at smoko (that would be aussie for morning tea), i held a short class on translating aussie expressions. i think 'don't come the raw prawn' was voted the favourite. eventually, the partners decided that they were not paying the staff big bucks ('cept me) to waste time separated by a common language.
Mel Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 I've had my share of problems understanding the Aussie lingo. Rob referred to me as a Larrikin once upon a time and I was clueless. My wife said they were probably " high words" for ass hole. Rob has denied that this was true from that day.:-|
El Presidente Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Onya Mel. You may have a few roos loose in the top paddock but your not a bad fella. By Jingoes I look forward to you shouting me an amber fluid but don't come the raw prawn that your skint or I'll be cheesed off. Wear some warm clobber in NY and don't call Ken a Git or he'll chuck a wobbly. ;-)

smokeswirl Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 That's it Rob!!! When you come to NYC you better bring your ebonics dictionary or your urban translator. it's gonna get really confusing. :-D

Mel Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Holly **** I got about half that. Tell me guys does he still love me? I got my Aussie dictionary out and still can't cipher all that. I may not have any roos left top or bottom paddock.:-|

Mel Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 » » » Holly **** I got about half that. » » How the Hell did you even get half of it:-| About a year or so ago I got tired of Rob talking over my head and I found a web site to help me out. Go to koalanet.com and click on the Aussie dictionary.
