What is Wowsers?

Australian slang used to describe someone who is considered to be not fun, i.e. overcomplicates matters, doesn't drink an amount of alcohol deemed socially appropriate, disagrees with the sentiments of a group. Specifically the term is likely to be applied to a man who is viewed to be judging the morals of his accusers and/or setting himself apart as morally "better" than others.

It's pretty dated, but not entirely out of use.

Australians very much like to believe that we are a classless society. Therefore, depending on context, "wowser" could be more offensive than well-known swear words.

Colin, mate, it's 11 o'clock. You gonna keep nursing that beer or make a move on Glenda, ya bloody wowser?

Wowsers - slang

In Australia, it is a derogatory word denoting a person who saps all the fun out of any given situation. Derived from the temperance movement in Australia and New Zealand at the turn of the C20th, when it was hurled as an accusation towards conservative teetotallers who were too prim and proper to relax and socialise, it has become a more generic term that can be assigned to any straight bore lacking a sense of humour, especially petty bureaucrats and Aussies politicians.

Nerd: No, I have to write an essay for uni.

Nerd, slowly de-nerdifying: Y'know, you're right. Let me at that party. Verily.
