You might have heard the Australians chanting "aussie, aussie, aussie" at sporting matches like the Rugby World Cup or the Olympics but it was 'borrowed' from the Welsh. The Welsh comedian and entertainer Max Boyce first coined it at his shows and it should be "augie, augie, augie, oi, oi oi!" repeated twice then 'augie oi, augie oi' finishing on three OI's You might say the Australians adopted it no, they nicked it from Wales.
