• According to the travel agency ads 'The land of plenty'
• The 'land of the long weekend'
• The crikey country

Answer 2

To make your name into its Australian equivelant, first chop off all but the first syllable (up to the second consonant. make it one syllable) eg: David-Dave, Darren-Darr, Giovanni-Giv.

Second step: if it ends in long consonant (m,n,f,v)- stick an o on the end so Jonathon becomes Johnno, Thomas becomes Thommo, David becomes Davo.

If the first syllable ends in an r, l or z sounding letter (like DaRRon, GaRy, BaRRy, ShaRon, etc. then chop off the r and stick z or zza on it- so it becomes Daz or Dazza, Gaz or Gazza, Baz or Bazza, Shaz or Shazza.

If they only have one syllable in their name or for some reason this just doesn't work, try using their last name or a name that has nothing to do with them. eg: Fred Smith could be Smizza, Bootlace or Bill. If their last name ends in s such as Wills or Jones, just stick a y on it so it becomes Willsy or Jonesy.

Answer 3

If your question is what are nicknames given to Australia as a country, some possible answers would be as follows:

* Oz * The land down under * Down under

Interestingly enough however, I rarely hear a fellow Australian refer to their homeland as any of these, these are more well known international nicknames for Australia.

Answer 4

This is an impossible question to answer without writing down a dictionary of Australian slang words.

Australian English is very rich in slang terms, though many have been in decline since the advent of television in the 1950s. Of course new ones are being added all the time, but it is a little sad to see the old words like "ryebuck" and "boshter" (genuine/accomplished/isn't that the truth, and really good but also ostentatious/posh respectively) die out.

There are some reliable reference works if you are really interested in the subject.
