STRAH'YIN.

Strine is outdated, as is the mythological Australian who bids you g'day and speaks of ockers, sheilas, tinnies or being as dry as a dead dingo's donger. [See Bazza Mackenzie circa 1972] Yobbos are now exclusively bogans. [Alt. bo'gahn]

Visitors should now learn Strah'yin.

Begin with greetings: 'Air garn?'

When things are going well for you, respond to the greeting with:
'Yeah, good.'

If all things are not as you would wish, respond with:
'Yeah, nah, arp t'shit, mite.'

In more general conversation, one response (suitable for all occasions) that has not changed is 'nahworries'. It can be prefaced at any time with 'yeah' as in 'yeah, nahworries', and 'mite' can always be added, as in 'nahworries, mite' or 'yeah, nahworries, mite'.

Loosely translated it means 'yes'. [The grammar rule applied here is the age old - If it has one syllable, extend. If it is polysyllabic, always shorten to a single syllable.]

It should also be noted by the visitor that bogans will sometimes substitute 'wuck'n furries' for 'worries' during a conversation, giving rise to the statement 'yeah, nahwuck'n furries, mite'. [That is furries as in durries, (colloq. cigarettes) not as in fur.]

Here ends today's lesson.
