Never heard the term ‘cossie’ in Australia, ‘togs’ and ‘boardies’ are common here though.
You forgot budgie smugglers.
Eh that doesn’t check out as we say boardies in Aus and I’ve never heard anyone say cosies, togs also sounds pretty dated?

I have never heard “chuddy” before and I’ve lived in NZ my whole life. Is it a regional or generational thing?
It might differ by region. Or, I could be wrong. (I did try to look things up before I posted the memes tho lol)
There are definitely sites claiming it’s NZ slang, but I haven’t heard it before. I’m not a professional gum chewer though.
Polish: Sugar cottonwool
This is a rare case where the Aussies are right. It was named fairy floss by its original inventor

In German, it’s sugarwadding.
