Australian Luffy

Just chatting with @sordidmusings and preparing her for her trip down-under has my brain rotting with what ifs, specifically:

What if Luffy was Australian?

And so, here he is. Monkey D "Loz" Luffy.

TW: bad Photoshop.

He abbreviates everything.

A Bogan with a heart of gold.

Everyone gets a nickname, all said with a nasally crackle in his accent.

When he walks into a venue, it automatically pops off with some proper Hilltop Hoods bangers:

Monkey D Loz is a right mate. Ready to help a guy out at the drop of his corkstring-hat (keeps the mozzies away).

Peak cuisine for Loz is a Bunnings Snag on a barbie, topped with tomato sauce - better yet if he adds yeastie Vegemite spread, burnt onions and mustard.

He's a Cottie's Cordial kid. Red is his favourite. What does it taste like? It tastes like 'Red.'

"Au Naur" - More HC and dialogue below the cut:

Inkeeper: "I'm sorry, all the rooms have been taken. I only have a small self-contained ensuite outside."

Loz: "What? Like a granny flat?"

Zeff: "You're goin' to settle your debt one way or another, chore boy."

Loz: "C'mon, Big Zeff. Sanga's a mate. He'll give us mates rates."

Small child: "Thank you so much for saving us, Monkey D Luffy."

Loz: "Hey, no dramas."

Nami: "Luffy, grab the helm. We've got to turn the ship around!"

Loz: "What Nazza? You wanna chuck a yewy?"

Zoro: "Oi, Luffy. Boa's askin' boucha."

Loz: "Hold up, Zozza. Gotta chuck me thongs on"

These are the Aussie abbreviations for a few characters' names:

Roronoa Zoro: Zozza

Blackleg Sanji: Sanga (play on words, this is what we call a sandwich).

Usopp: Soppa

Nami: Nazza

Nico Robin: Robbie

Tony Tony Chopper: Chop-Chop (after chopper reed: an Aussie criminal icon)

Franky: Frangsta

Brook: Brookie

Trafalgar D Water-Law: Trazza

Portgas D Ace: Azzo

Sabo: Sabsta

Helmeppo: Meppaz

Koby: Kozzy

Red-Hair Shanks: Shazza

Dracule Mihawk: Hawko

Buggy D Clown: Bugsta

Sir Crocodile: Croco

Benn Beckman: Bazza

My personal favourites:

Donquixote Doflamingo & Donquixote Rosinante: Mingas and Nunce

@since-im-already-here, Sanga's defo got Ciggy butt brain. He's always bummin' ya lighters. He smokes Winnie-Blues and drinks goon.

Notes: Yes, can confirm. These are real things. @gingernut1314 @writingmysanity @feral-artistry @cinnbar-bun @carrotsunshine @vespidphoenix @sexc-snail I thought you'd all appreciate some unhinged Aussie thoughts and slang from "Monkey D Loz"

Backstage Interview

Nicholas didn't know Nai was Australian when he first met him:

Nick starts, "Took me three weeks to notice Nai was Aussie too."

"Crikey! You didn't know?" Vash cries, flabbergasted.

Nick shook his head. "I mean, I had to be blind and deaf not to recognize you, busting in the first day yelling 'Oi, mate!' in the crew's eardrums."

He turns to the interviewer. "Numpty here panic-tossed his bum bag to Carl, 'cause you forgot to leave it in your trailer," he finished with a tease aimed at Vash. "But the nail in the coffin was when Meryl trampled over you after untying you in the first scene of episode one. She apologized, and you answered with the brightest 'No worries, mate' possible."

Vash scratches his chin and giggles. "I guess I couldn't be more obvious."

Nick smacks Vash's arm. "But seriously, how did you make him as Aussie-" he waves at Nai's entire figure, quizzically- "When he looks like this?"

Nai pulls a face at Nick, asking sarcastically, "Ever heard of sunscreen?"

"You look like a Brit!"

Vash leans over to Nick and says in a matter-of-fact tone, "Because I read his CV, you galah."

Nicholas grunts. "Excuse me if I'm not a stalker, ya dingus!"

Now completely ignored, Nai looks at the interviewer, dejected. "This is what I have to deal with on a daily basis- when I'm lucky enough that they're channeling their fuckery at each other, or at someone else..."

Aussie slang?

Okay, so I'm writing a creative text for an English project and one of my characters is Australian. So, to make it more exiting and believable I decided to incorporate some slang into their speech.

However, I am Not An Aussie, so I took to the internet for some research and am absolutely delighted.

And my personal Favorites

I hope these are real, considering the article was 100% written by an American. How do I know? Well, this.

Times my aussie has shown (according to a friend on discord)

-“You greet everyone by saying “g’day mate” ffs”

-“I swear to the Gods if you use the term bundie one more time I will smack you. You’re not even old enough to drink. What are you talking about.”

-“The phrase “middy”. No explanation needed.”

-“Shortening? Everything??”

-“What the fuck is HJ’s.” [the aussie burger king] “What.”

-“Why are you cooking food on a barbie doll?”

-“Do not look at a heatwave warning and go “Kind of hot here” one more time I swear.”

-“Never say “Longies” to me ever again. And how dare you disrespect cigarettes by calling them “Ciggies”. Fuck you.”

-“I swear to the Gods what is a Bottle-O.”

Backstage Interview

Nick, Vash, Nai

Nick continues, "The Sprouts didn't see me, because I just turned the corner and was coming from behind, but I saw their feet scramble below Nai's snuggie. Five seconds later, and I'd have missed them."

Nai adjusts himself on the chair and Vash begins to mindlessly poke him on the forearm. Nai doesn't swat him away, because he knows Vash will just keep going even harder.

Nick goes on, "I went full stealth mode and got closer. Big guy here was still waking up from the intrusion."

Nai nods. "I barely managed to realize what was going on, then I saw him approaching like he was about to attack."

Nick leans in, exhilarated. "He craked the shits."

Vash starts cackling.

Nick chuckles. "He switched from Cuddle Blorbo to John Wick."

Vash doubles over.

"He gave me the most threatening, menacing, intimidating death glare I have ever seen," Nick teased.

Nai leans over, holding his head in his hands, elbows on the knees, blushing uncontrollably. "I was tired. You were grinning like a maniac. And I had rattled children clutching onto me. What did you expect?"

"Defo not you swooping like an angry magpie." Nick giggles.

#aussie slang

[verberation]

I list of Aussie sayings that live in a very soft part of my heart;

Go, you good thing!

She’ll be right

Fang it

You beauty! (But pronounced how my grandpa Mogsy said it: you beaut-ay)

Onya mate!

Chuck a u-ey

Heaps good

Chuck a sickie

Anyway, the world is hard but I can tell my friends to chuck a u-ey and a small seed of fondness enters my body for the sheer spectacle and silliness of existing.

#straya #anyway I love idioms and slang #i speak! #the Australian existance is that of throwing our language at a wall and say she’ll be right #beloved but unmentioned: adding an O to a word to make it shorter #eg: bottle-o & iso & & smoko & your mate steveo etc etc etc #australia #aussie slang

[madrewrites]

international tourists: *proper shoes, walking sticks, packs on backs, water bottles, khakis*
