This is not as dumb as it appears.... many countries NZ included think Aussie means Australia not an Australian person Comment by: Jimbo

wrong! Wrong! WRONG! "Boomer" is actually the name for a big male Kangaroo. Although the word isnt in common use any more you will find it widely used through out Aussie literature (poetry etc) from back in the day.... Comment by: tangles   

Umm... no... Boomer refers to a male kangaroo. Hence the song christmas song 'Six White Boomers'. I've heard 'boomer' used a lot but never as a slur. Comment by: moggie   

boomer in wales means got an erect penis as in .got a boomer Comment by: liam    Rated:4/5

Testicles of cattle after castration. Comment by: Andrew

A gob of yellow / green phlegm. What you cough up and spit out when you have a heavy cold. Comment by: yabba    Rated:5/5

I'm not from OZ, but I'm pretty sure this refers to the "bush telegraph" i.e. the mysterious ways that news and gossip get passed around in remote places. Not literally smoke signals as once used by American Indians. Comment by: dbeierl   

no, it means that there's nothing to do when you've gone bush but to sit around a campfire and spend time with everyone... like one does with a telly when you're at home. Comment by: suzi   

Hey dbbelert I think you mean the "bush telegrah" Comment by: Aussie Mike   

hahahaha. Awsome.. Comment by: meme   

is this for real?? LOL Comment by: ng400   

I believe the equivalent Fijian term is kitchen. any Fijian out there? Comment by: mh   

I prefer "the scone burner" Comment by: pete   

For real, about 50 years ago! Sometimes even "chief cook and bottle wash". Wouldn't get away with it now. Comment by: Peter   

Yeah but more specifically it means, don't feign innocence or naivety or with me! Comment by: Wilson   

No one in Australia calls it 'down under' this is embarrassing, and it is what the American's say. Comment by: mate    Rated:1/5

Absolutely correct. It is American slang for Australia. No one said Aussies use it. :P Comment by: Twisted    Rated:5/5

No one in New Zealand calls you this either, or us for that matter. aussie is "west island" :D Comment by: Jimmyjoe   

So what do you Ozzies call us? Antipodeans? Tell me we're not Pommies... ;-) Incidentally, what about that song from ?Men at Work? that talks about "a land down under?" Comment by: dbeierl   

"Down Under" is an advertising slogan by the Aussies for the Yanks, but its not actively used in Oz 'cept for the tourists Comment by: Bluey    Rated:2/5

What bullshit that Australians don't use the term, ever heard of a small Australian band called Men at Work and their famous song that became, the unofficial Australian anthem throughout the 80's and 90's called "Downunder"�.I come from the land downunder! Comment by: Aussie Mike
