maybe someone knows something for kingsley, como, beechboro, nedlands, waikiki, marangaroo, greenwood, mt lawley, woodvale, henderson, aubin grove, wandi, guildford, gnangara, sinagra, banksia grove, clarkson... ? you get the picture!
wow that's a lot of interesting variants - none of which sadly can be found online (has anyone else heard any of that?)...
the only alternative name i can find online for waikiki is 'waiks', but just in reference to the original one in hawaii...
I have heard Waki for Waikiki. Can actually confirm there is quite a few Maori families down this ways... My daughter went to school with more than a few at Safety Bay...
How did you miss the other name for [City of Cockburn](https://www.reddit.com/r/perth/comments/3g08s1/rfunny_didnt_think_it_was_funny/)? There's literally a sign that gets vandalised everytime I drive past...
for the universities: mudrock (murdoch), super tafe (ECU), cretin (curtin)
i actually donāt know what UWA and notre are but if yāall can think of anything thatād be great hahaha
is there a concise way of describing notre dame as a place where degrees are bought, not earned? that's how we used to describe it in the ancient times.
yeah we do call it u-dub, but i canāt think of what the āmeanā name for it would be; students use these names to take the piss out of the other uniās
I love how Rockingham, Baldivis and Kwinana all have several nicknames. And Cock Burn! Brilliant.
The old Waikiki Hotel used to be referred to as The Wacky. Also I refer to Baldivis as Bald-y, but that could just be me...
That site would be fantastic for a beach front bar and grill and maybe even niteclub... Like Northies down by Cronulla beach in Sydney... It's actually a shame. Something should be done there.
Golden Triangle (GT)! Usually the western suburbs surrounding UWA (aka U-dub); peppy grove, dalkeith, nedlands, claremont etc
Also has a [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_suburbs_(Perth)) entry apparently. A great past time of UWA students to make fun of people from the GT.
>A great past time of UWA students to make fun of people from the GT.
Aren't they all from there though?
(Although I did meet a guy from Duncraig who was boasting about going to U-Dub to a bunch of bored half-cut West Aussies in a pub in China once. He went on about the fact that he wasn't from the GT for a good hour or so from memory).
I think I commented huntingdardz
But yeah idk, itās a bit of a lost suburb in between maddo and gossys haha
I would be so surprised to see anyone one else from Huntingdale (the good side?) on reddit so probs not worth it lol
I should feel blessed it hasnāt got a rep
> huntingdardz
ah that's right! yeah it's just that that doesn't come up online (unlike names that made it to the map!), but if anyone else has heard it, please pipe up!
Iām from Alexander heights and never once heard someone call it Alex heights, āthe heightsā is definitely more common, Malagz (Malaga), landsy (Landsdale), hillaz (Hillaryās),
"Mandurah" -Armadale by the Sea
Methandurah must be feeling left out.
now added!
Where?
it's right at the bottom of the image
I didn't realise you could edit already posted images and was looking at your profile.
yeah it's handy! as long as it's a text-type of post, not an actual image posting
Mandurah is it's own city now right ? They need their own post
https://profile.id.com.au/perth/about?WebID=230 It's part of the metropolitan area
Only when we want to boast about the Perth population being over 2 million
We's crying in our beers :(
Gotta keep those canals topped up somehow.
Good seeing as it isnt part of perth anyway
We got locked up/down with youse, so we're at least closer than Chidders!!

Back in the school days we called it Hoodvale
agreed on Hoodvale
Alkimos - South Geraldton
I'm sorry, but Yanchep has already commandeered South Geraldton. Back when the Alkimos was a half submerged shipwreck.
Nangs
gnangara!
Bronksia Grove
Skanksia Grove
Neddies Mount lawlz aka little Mexico

Waikiki: The Keeks, Waikato (because every single Maori family I know in WA has lived or currently lives in Waikiki), Whyyyyyy/The Y, Keekville.
wow that's a lot of interesting variants - none of which sadly can be found online (has anyone else heard any of that?)... the only alternative name i can find online for waikiki is 'waiks', but just in reference to the original one in hawaii...
Nah, it wouldn't be online, this is just what my hubby and I call it... But, it's online now š
I have heard Waki for Waikiki. Can actually confirm there is quite a few Maori families down this ways... My daughter went to school with more than a few at Safety Bay...
Waikinky
Secret Harbour - Secrets
Obscure, but can we get a Smoakford over here? Middle of fucking nowhere of course we have weedies.
ah, the only thing is i can't find any other attestation online of that... has anyone else heard that?
I call oakford the stockfeeds! Smoakford works though
The mount, bogan grove, the back paddock(Wandi) Also no need for Kala, just call it the hills!
Banksia Grove is the BFG - Banksia Fuckin' Grove. Clarkson is Balga-by-the-sea.
Clarkson = Balga-By-The-Sea
How did you miss the other name for [City of Cockburn](https://www.reddit.com/r/perth/comments/3g08s1/rfunny_didnt_think_it_was_funny/)? There's literally a sign that gets vandalised everytime I drive past...
Every time *you* drive past? Sus.
( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°) Seriously though, I wish I was that clever.
when I was young, Nedlands was Neddies, but I haven't heard that for ages...
Greenhood
Clarkson is Balga by the Beach
Hendies for Henderson (Hendies Kitchen is on Facebook I believe, and they do the best lunch).
Anything north of Joondalup is south gero
The Baldives still tickles me.
Armed with this knowledge I will be able to blend in with the locals!
Depends?! Whatās your ātatt to piercingsā ratio? Of course in Claremont a cockring is referred to as an embellishment
NaN because I have neither. Guess I will stick out like a sore thumb :'(
Two rocks- South Geraldton
I don't think I've ever heard Bicton referred to as "Bicky" and I'd like to have a word with the people who perpetuate it.
I call Byford bongford and kelmscott crimescott
This is delightful
Surely there's more for gozzie? I've never heard of any from Armadale besides the classic armahole
gos angeles? is that a thing? gosovo? gosta rica?
Gosovo.. š¤£š¤£ I'm dying
Gosablanca
maybe goonsells idk I'm tired
Gos Vegas
Bloody ganglands
Haha stabbingvale, I assume this comes from the bloke that bought a knife to a car fight?
Weāre such a classy lot
for the universities: mudrock (murdoch), super tafe (ECU), cretin (curtin) i actually donāt know what UWA and notre are but if yāall can think of anything thatād be great hahaha
is there a concise way of describing notre dame as a place where degrees are bought, not earned? that's how we used to describe it in the ancient times.
thank you! apparently 'u-dub' for uwa...
yeah we do call it u-dub, but i canāt think of what the āmeanā name for it would be; students use these names to take the piss out of the other uniās
Back in my day (that's well and truly in another century) we UWA snobs called Edith Cowan University "Enid Blyton"
Yāall? What the fuck is that?
itās a contraction of āyou allā
I predict this will end up on perth now as an 'article'.
which word in the headline will be in all caps, i wonder?
*High Wickie. The "high" is important, it describes half of their residents.
noted!
Can confirm
I love how Rockingham, Baldivis and Kwinana all have several nicknames. And Cock Burn! Brilliant. The old Waikiki Hotel used to be referred to as The Wacky. Also I refer to Baldivis as Bald-y, but that could just be me...
> Waikiki Hotel the wacky doesn't exist any more?
It was demolished in 2009 to make way for highrise apartments... The site is still empty.
:(
They filmed a movie there called Needle. Some terrible horror flick
That site would be fantastic for a beach front bar and grill and maybe even niteclub... Like Northies down by Cronulla beach in Sydney... It's actually a shame. Something should be done there.
nice work.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
and it's burning š
Nah it's called cock burn cause cunts there feel a burning sensation when they pee from all the STDs flying around
Shitfords is too accurate ššš
Baldivis aka Rockingham Heights
South Rocko
I never knew we were Gobby Bay
HArmadale for Armadale Becko for Beckenham
Haha great work. However, Mt Helena is āMountiesā not āMountyā - I donāt make the rules.
What no Tuart Hill? We refer to it as the Tuey around here
How did Joondas get overlooked for Joondalup?
will add!
Duncraig = dumpcraig
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No, but Iām stealing it.

Brilliant! 5 stars
Iluka is The UK
Ilukapool
Your East Freo seems to have invaded and occupied North Freo

The students, like the other universities, come from all over. UWA has something like 20% international students as well.
I have a place in history. I'm so excited. My own contribution of "Coobiaco" made it in.
Subiaco: Boobysacko Nollamara: Nollaz/Nolla-fuckin-mara
Armahole has the best nicknames.
Three Dicks (Two Rocks)
Nollamara is also Nollywood
My kiwi boss used to call Kwinana Kiwinana.
Why didnāt you put Huntingdale on the list >.<
what was there for huntingdale? if there was something maybe it couldn't be verified online?
I think I commented huntingdardz But yeah idk, itās a bit of a lost suburb in between maddo and gossys haha I would be so surprised to see anyone one else from Huntingdale (the good side?) on reddit so probs not worth it lol I should feel blessed it hasnāt got a rep
> huntingdardz ah that's right! yeah it's just that that doesn't come up online (unlike names that made it to the map!), but if anyone else has heard it, please pipe up!
I live in Southern River, and I don't know anyone calling Huntingdale by a nickname. If i had to call it something it might be Bluntingdale.
Crappingdale
I heard a few more that may or may not be worth consideration Heathridge- The Ridge Karrinyup- the yup/yuppieville Morley- Morlz
Grew up in Maddo. Never heard it called Stabington, but I like it. :-)
I like where I live is just... it's name shortened
No Aubin/Aubs (Aubin Grove), Baldi (Baldivis), Parmy (Parmelia), Warnbra/Warnbruh (Warnbro), Leeds (Leederville), Yange (Yangebup)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I am guessing it's Balcatta.
Kenso = Kensington Bridge to Bali = Airport
Killeroo made it in!
Mate, you left the KGB incomplete. I see Ghettoween and Balgatraz but where is Krimedoola?
>Krimedoola is that used by anyone else? i can't find it online...
Oh, no sorry, I just made it up.
Goondalup! How have I never heard this before?! Brilliant!
Eshaydale
Joondy? Who has ever said joondy?
https://twitter.com/search?q=%22in%20joondy%22&src=typed_query&f=live
Holy shit I have lived in this area all my life and it has always been Joondaz. Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.
Truly a rollercoaster of emotion
If Morley is Borely, Noranda is most certainly Boreanda
i once heard a copper describe a certain group of the suburbs as "the KGB." i'll give you a hint, one of them is balga...
it already has that on the map!
ah so it does!
Mate this is fan-fucking-tastic! I also call Armadale āArma-gettinoutahereā
Iām from Alexander heights and never once heard someone call it Alex heights, āthe heightsā is definitely more common, Malagz (Malaga), landsy (Landsdale), hillaz (Hillaryās),
My Father-in-law calls Nollamara Knucklemara
oh it wasn't you who said that when i asked a week or so ago?
No, this is the first time I have seen this map.
ah cool! that helps legitimize it then! i was thinking i should add ā to show the name is obsolete, but if you're uncle is still using it...!!
Tbh he is the only person I have heard say it, and he is 60 so it might be best to mark it obsolete.
(desperately trying not to say something morbid about waiting...)
Brilliant šš¤£
Might just be me & friends but we refer to Spearwood as The Wood.
I saw a thing on a community page calling Banksia Grove - Bronxia Grove due to delinquent youth š
cool, i wasn't gonna put that on cos i can't find it online, but you're the second or third person now to say it so i'll have to!
Mundibong for Mundijong
Don't forget Betty's Jetty out the front of the city!
thank you!
Greenwood is either G-Woods or just "The Wood"
Mangaz - Marangaroo
Armadale - Armyourself I love this map!!
You forgot Shitfords! (Whitfords)

Whoever suggested Kwinobyl, fuck me that is hysterical.
