Subject: RE: BS: ozspeak: Sydney or the Bush
G'day all,

To slip slightly to ther left of the subject area ... in another thread I remarked to Charley Noble that the triangle defined by Rowan as NSW (Newcastle Sydney & Wollongong - instead of New South & Wales) is also a 'linguistic enclave', with it own peculiar slang words for many terms that have otherwise consistent terms across the rest of Australia.

(And that's apart from Sydneyites considering everywhere else "The Bush"!)

Regards,

Bob
