Several Australian slang words were recently added to the Oxford Dictionary — and some of them might surprise you.

Living between Australia and the United States, I’m constantly reminded how quickly language evolves… and how differently it travels.

In this episode, I explore eleven newly recognised Aussie slang terms — from everyday pub language to sports cheers — and what they reveal about modern Australian culture.

We’ll look at:

• What each word actually means
• Where it likely came from
• How Australians use it naturally
• And why it doesn’t always translate cleanly overseas

It’s not a crash course in sounding Australian.

It’s a snapshot of how language reflects identity — and how even familiar English can feel unfamiliar across borders.

If you’ve ever had to explain a word that “just makes sense” back home, you’ll probably recognise the moment.

The Land I Trust Sierra Club The Land I Trust, an audio series by the Sierra Club, tells stories of special places under threat by dirty energy -- and how the transition to clean energy is benefiting people and the homes they hold dear. In our first series, we travel through the American South to talk with folks about the coal that is fouling their air and water, the dirty energy projects they're fighting in their backyards, and a shared vision for a clean energy economy that allows all of our communities to thrive. From climate refugees to farming families, these Southerners generously sat down, walked, and canoed with us while sharing their truths. Travel with us through North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama and Florida to hear firsthand how much moving beyond coal and fracked gas matters to communities everywhere.
