RE: The Language of Teenage Slang
Teenage slang can be fun. In Germany a lot of people currently use "sheeeesh" to show their surprise/shock :)

I think in Australia, sheesh is used to show slight exasperation. We also have this thing called rhyming slang. It’s odd to say the least, but less so if you’ve grown up with it.
As an example, ‘dog and bone’ is telephone. ‘Dead horse’ is sauce. Like I said - odd! They all have meanings or stories behind what they mean, but I can’t remember them off the top of my head. There’s a heap of them though.
Thanks for reading @tripswithtam.
Haha that's so odd! I've never heard that before
I think it's a real Aussie thing. Not sure of any other countries that have anything like this.
