I was reading C.J. Dennis' famous book "Digger Smith" published by Angus and Robertson in 1918 and noticed that it includes a glossary of common terms that "the Digger" uses. They contain many phrases commonly used at the time and are reproduced below. One of my favourites is the word "cove" meaning a bloke.
