What does "ocker" mean in Australian slang?
In Australian slang, "ocker" refers to a rough, unsophisticated Australian person, often seen as loud, blunt, and strongly accented. It is used in informal Australian English as both a description and a stereotype of working-class speech and behaviour. The term became popular in the mid-20th century through Australian media and comedy, where "ocker" characters were portrayed as exaggerated rural or urban figures. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it developed within Australian colloquial speech as a label for an uncultured or boorish man.
(Australian) unrefined or typically Australian in a crude or earthy manner
