Note that it is NOT an Australian-American slang dictionary. It is intended for fluent speakers of Australian slang, although the frequency of e-mail from American addresses suggests it is diverting for Americans too. I made the lexicon public because I thought it might amuse others as much as it amused me to compile it. I collected this lexicon to preserve some of the creative, interesting, or less-well-known words and phrases I encountered in North America in my time there from 1983 to 1988 and on later visits.
