Planning a trip to Australia? These 11 brand new Australian slang words just made the Oxford Dictionary and every American tourist needs to know them! From "goon" (boxed wine) to "carn" (sports cheer), I'll teach you the Aussie slang that'll help you fit in Down Under.

🇺🇸 WHY AMERICANS GET CONFUSED BY AUSSIE SLANG:
Australian English is wildly different from American English. These words literally just got added to the Oxford Dictionary in 2025, so even educated Americans won't know them!

✈️ BEFORE YOU VISIT AUSTRALIA:
Understanding these slang terms will help you navigate Australian pubs, sports events, and social situations. Trust me, as an Aussie living in the US, I've seen the confusion firsthand!
