The term y-fronts is also used in Australia (the article mentions UK only usage). I think of them as old fashioned, but that may be my own interpretation.
I put together some slang definitions for a Quiz Night earlier this year. I noticed Australia has a lot more in common with the UK than the US when it comes to slang. This may change with the Internet in the next decade or so.
- chris_wot 11y agoUnless we become a republic, I don't think we will. We are a hell of a lot more cynical and reserved as a rule. And whilst we really love American culture, we see a LOT of stuff coming out of the U.S. a good proportion of the nation shake our heads at - like the insane U.S. gun culture and absurd health care system. That tends to blunt U.S. influence a great deal. Not to mention we have Australuan citizens who we know are being or have been persecuted by the U.S., like David Hicks and Julian Assange.
