I thought it might be worth introducing this to London. I use Strine a little, but I keep being misunderstood by people – so time to educate the masses*
Australian spoken english using slang terms with no spaces in between words.
Someone who can actually speak fluent strine is very rare, generally only found in surf clubs or bowls clubs
e.g.
itsfuckenorrightaymate
avagoodweegend
garngetfucked

I applaud your use of Strine! There is unsurprisingly a Glasgow version of Stirne, known as “The Patter”. I use it a lot in London, which usually terrifies the localsFor example:“Howzitgaun” = How is it going“Maheidsburstin” = I have a sorehead“Watchooterrapolis” =Watch out, here is the police comingAnd the often used“Awaanboilyirheid” = Off you go and boil your head There’s a lot more, some of which will no doubt find its way onto a T-shirt… I hope you’ll do the same!
