Australianisms & Regional Slang

How ancient are you even CSJ?

twenty-*cough*
Jumpers at least in my memory, tended to refer more to fleecy warm things made of wool (ie; cardigans) and/or without a hood. If it had a hood, it was more likely to be called a 'sloppy joe'. Then hoodies came along.

Like how chips were chips until they became fries and biscuits became cookies.

Have heard older extended family using the term as well, but haven't seen anyone under the age of say, 18 outside my family call it that. Definitely old lingo.

E: Googling finds other people with similar recollections from Sydney and Melbourne as well as references in the Macquarie Dictionary, though generally older people afaics. That said, there are apparently places in Australia that still advertise 'sloppy joes' as clothing so there you go lol.

Ex2 Combo: Doing a facebook poll now. Had a few other people around here say they've head it used like that, though not everyone and mostly older folks.
