Curiously though, some über Brits these days find it fashionable to try and speak Oz. It never comes off of course. I think it's an envy thing. Quote:

| A bit dour to say the least, but how about 'SCHADENFREUDE' (pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others)? Caveat; OK, not exactly Angleski/Americano/Anzac, but a popular word in neswpapers, such as the London Times, Irish Times and the Washington Post.

| Gaggle maybe? It's definitely not my favorite or oddest word, but that's something that I see in my newspapers a lot.. I see it used as in "A gaggle of geese was shot by a Washington man of 37." I find it a bit redundant to add the phrase "of geese", because gaggle itself means "a flock of geese". EDIT: Aha! I think I know my favorite word. It's short, sweet, and means only one thing: cis.
