"Your grouse"

What does that mean in australia? It might be slang, it might not be.. i just heard australians know what it means...???

[bikinihouse]

[bawdy]

you're hot/cool whatever... generally a good thing

[Joe Average]

Grouse means good.

[BlueDesignStudios]

Yeah grouse is a compliment - I don't hear it much, it's definitely slang

[kad]

Its Melbourne / Sydney speak

It means really good. 'You have a grouse car' or 'You mum is a grouse root'.

[The Other Steve]

Don't think it is restricted to just Sydney and Melbourne - more likely it is falling out of favour in other places.

Like 'cobber' - that word was once popular everywhere but now usually only heard in Tasmania

Not used much any more, used to be a 60's 70's and 80's expression, as per the above reply's

Spooky

When I was in school, we moved from Melbourne to Adelaide. I was saying grouse this and grouse that out of habbit. I copped a lot of shit from other losers about it.

Adelaide is a weird town. I love it, but fuck its weird
