Australian slang meaning sickening or nauseating — likely to make someone chunder (vomit). The word carries the same vivid, slightly theatrical quality as other Australian slang derived from 'chunder.' Used informally to describe food, smells, situations, or people that inspire disgust. Not overtly offensive but definitely informal.

'That smell coming from the bin is absolutely chunderous,' she said, backing away from the kitchen.
Origin: From Australian slang 'chunder' (to vomit) + '-ous' adjective suffix; meaning likely to cause vomiting or deeply revolting. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
