Y

the Yarra

1. Yarra River

The Yarra River runs through Melbourne and the Yarra Valley is a wine growing district upstream from Melbourne.

lout, rural or urban redneck

Basically, any idiot likely to lean out a car window and yell "show us yer tits!".

a long time

Usage example: "It took me yonks to get there."

youse
you (plural)

Pronounced yooz.

Commonly used by bogans and boxers and indicative of poor education.

"I love youse all" is the catch phrase of Australian champion boxer Jeff Fenech. In Fenech's case it is a perfectly acceptable example of Aboriginal English and therefore not indicative of class or education.
