Flume Schools Yanks In Australian Slang

Have to give it to Flume, aside from world domination on the music front he’s also dishing out language lessons for the Yanks – streuth!

Giving the Honey Badger a slight run for his money, Harley who is currently stateside was interviewed by The Look while trying on some fresh threads from the gang at Opening Ceremony and gave them the 411 on what a “duzza”, “dinger” and ” darts” were.

What’s your favorite Australian slang word?
It might be a little too rude for this interview. [Laughs] There are a few. I like the word “darren,” which means cigarette.

Wow. I’ve never heard that one. I’ve heard of a cigarette being called a “duzza”?
Oh yeah, there’s “duzza” and also “dart.”

My favorite is “pinger,” which means “molly.”
Yeah! You know the word dinger [molly]? The best one is ding-ray. [Laughs]

Although we can’t say we’ve heard about a “darren” we can confirm that “duzzas” and “dingers” are definitely being used by the youth of today, usually in quick succession on a big night out.

The rest of the interview is strewn with tidbits about Australia with Vegemite, Tim Tams, Manly, Seekae and plenty more all getting their moment. Check out the full read and shoot here.

Flumes been a busy bee of late with a re-work of electronic trio Seekae and good mate Chet Faker, of which both are playing this years must-attend festival Listen Out where they’ll play alongside Bondax, Four Tet, Schoolboy Q and plenty more.
