Gidday blokes and sheilas, here’s the latest addition to the Australian vocab list I’m building to help you decode some of the inevitable slang which I (as an Australian) will occasionally revert to.

K is for -

• Knock - [verb] to criticize or verbally disrespect something or someone. Occasionally there’s an unfortunate and embarrassing collision of idioms when the media refer to Australian society as a “country of knockers” …

L is for -

• Little tacka - young child
• Lolly - candy, sweet.
