What it means: A term in Australian football for charging at an opponent. (Example: In 2014, Australia’s prime minister Tony Abbott vowed to “shirtfront” Russian President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s alleged involvement in the MH17 plane-crash disaster, in which many Australian citizens died. Non-Australians, and presumably Mr. Putin, could have used Australia’s new dictionary to figure out what he meant.)

What it means: To win improbably or at the last minute. It’s a reference to Australian short-track speed skater Steven Bradbury, who won an unexpected gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City when all the other skaters crashed into each other in the last corner.

What it means: An Atlantic-Canadian insult for a childish or cowardly person.

What it means: An aboriginal Australian word for “mate,” which is what Australians call close friends.

What it means: This is an aboriginal Australian word to use as a substitute name for a dead person. (In some indigenous cultures, it’s taboo to name or show images of the dead.)

What it means: What Australians call a person claiming a bogus religious affiliation.

What it means: In Australia, this is a fashionable man who lives in the country. (It connotes a metrosexual man, and is not to be confused with the North American “lumbersexual.”)

What it means: This is the Cree word for a cradleboard used to carry babies.

What it means: This is what Australians call a small blanket used to wrap babies.

What it means: This is what people from Saskatchewan call a hooded sweatshirt.

What it means: A Canadian word for underwear. Other variations include “gaunch” (used especially in B.C. and Alberta) and “gotch” or “gotchies.”

What it means: When Australians say something is “schmick,” they mean it’s cool or excellent. The Australian dictionary’s editor-in-chief Bruce Moore, for instance, described the new tome as “the schmickest dictionary of all” when it was launched at Australia’s Parliament in Canberra on Tuesday.

What it means: A derogatory Australian term for a working-class, boorish person. The Down Under equivalent of Canada’s “hoser.” (The Canadian Oxford Dictionary also has an entry for “bogan,” which is what Maritimers and Maine residents call a stagnant backwater next to a lake or river.)

What it means: A 19th-century Canadian slur used against Roman Catholics, particularly Irish Catholics.

What it means: What Québécois call something that’s kitschy or in poor taste.
