I'm one who uses 'fair dinkum' a bit.

Like most of us, I use the common 'no worries' and 'she'll be right' ones quite regularly too.

I get strange looks for saying Cheers instead of thanks or bye.

And for some reason, some poms think g'day can be used at the end of a conversation.

1: Hi mate how are you.
2: Good thanks, yourself?
1: Fantastic. Listen, i'm just heading out. I'll talk to you later, ok?
2: No worries, g'day.

Speaking of g'day and aussie slang, here's a few aussie slangs from former Aussie TV cook Peter Russell Clarke http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=UgRUUWrHPPw

 

[Misanthrope]

Well, g'day does mean 'Good day'. It could work in that context, but I don't hear it often.

As for me, I say 'No worries' a lot as well as 'No dramas'. I've also taught a bunch of Americans and Canadians here to use 'Lower than a dead dingo's donger'.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Im known to throw the odd 'crikey' out here and there.

Among other favs are:
Tommy sauce
That's gold
She'll be right

 

[Spike]

budgie smugglers

 

[God-King Dean]

Without a doubt, the phrase I hate the most in this world ' AUSSIE BATTLER '. I f**king dispise it.

 

[Vossy]

the following slang i use:

g'day
no probs
no worries
fair dinkum (usually followed by f*ck sake)
crikey (depends on the situation)

 

[God-King Dean]

Cheers is the only one I use frequently. Unless f**k me, & aww get f**ked count.
