This reminds me of when I took my son, when he was 16, to the UK to visit relatives. We were walking down the road one evening and he was talking to me and these young girls heard him and made a beeline over and made him talk. They wanted him to say G'day and he refused saying he had never said it and never would.
I actually think that a lot of the colloquialisms that Aussies used to say like G'day, Sheila and Fair Dinkum for example may not be as prevalent in the younger city people.
As to Spunk well yeah, when I moved back to Australia in the early 70's it was a well used word and certainly had a different meaning in the UK
