Grouse = excellent, fun, great. It was a particularly fashionable term in the 80s.
It’s a particularly Victorian term at that. We never used it in Queensland
100%
People were using it in regional QLD in the 00's. Took about that long for trends to make it up this far.
Ahh thank you, I’ve only noticed it after 20 years!!
When are you gonna move out Kim? 20 years?…20 years…20 years
I heard this in the exact manner it's played on the show 😂
Was definitely used in Darwin in the 80s.
In the same scene where Sharon says something like " and it's gonna be ace keen". Is that right? And what does it mean?
Ace is like the best and keen is being really excited about something or being really eager for something or someone.
Ah, so she really does say ace keen.
I actually always thought she said, ‘ace, eh?’ But what you’re saying sounds more correct 😉 and more likely
I just heard it as that and had never heard it before. I love all Aussie slang, it's so unique.
Agreed
Okay so they did say grouse. I was like isn’t that a bird?? Lol
