Buffs hold vote for best Aussie word

CANBERRA, Australia, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Australian word experts at the Macquarie Dictionary Down Under are taking an online vote for the Aussie Word of the Year, a newspaper said.

Tanorexia, slummy mummy and manscaping are some of the funny phrases being included in the vote, the Sun reported Friday.

The new Australian words are said to make many common, yet peculiar situations easy to describe.

"Butt bra" is a term which some Aussies reportedly use to refer to an article of clothing designed to lift the wearer's behind, while a "credit card tart" is a person who transfers credit card balances to whichever provider offers the lowest interest rate.

The combination of the words floor and wardrobe into "floordrobe" describes a floor so covered in clothing it has become the owner's method of garment storage.
