I don't think so. Killed, maybe, but not laughed at.

Oh, and a tip: Don't say "g'day" to everyone.

Aussies and Kiwis tend to find it annoying when non Aussies and non-Kiwis try to say it - especially with a think American accent.

I know we have some natives on this forum so sound off please and give me good recommendations

I'd probably go with clothes, but if you were thinking of going naked, that might work.

It's an Aussie mating cry.

Yell it repeatedly at Bondi.

In all seriousness, I went to Australia for 3 months last year, didn't notice a difference in clothes. Get ready to hear the word cunt about 1000 times more then you normally would though.

That's just because they were dealing with you, surely?

Aussies very rarely swear and are among the politest people in the world.

One thing every visitor to Australia should know is that the phrase 'Push off, ya pommie bahstid' is local slang for 'Please come here and give me a hug.'

You'll make loads of new friends that way.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

The thing with the way Australians use it, it's not really an insult. Like you'd call your male friend a 'good cunt' and shit like that.
