Australian slang for tracksuit bottoms — the comfortable, elasticated trousers you throw on for a jog, a lazy Sunday, or a quick trip to the shops when you simply cannot be bothered to find proper pants. 'Daks' is classic Australian slang for trousers, and 'trackie' is the abbreviated form of 'tracksuit', so trackie daks is a perfectly logical compound. It's one of those words that feels quintessentially Australian — relaxed, practical, and entirely without pretension.
The standard term in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the US for sweatpants or jogging bottoms — loose, comfortable trousers with an elasticated waist, typically made from soft fabric. The word is the natural equivalent of British 'tracksuit bottoms' and is used entirely without stigma in athletic and casual contexts.
(AU) Tracksuit bottoms; tracksuit trousers/pants.
Australian slang meaning to associate with someone romantically or socially, or to go out with a person. 'Track with' implies a casual or ongoing companionship rather than a formal relationship, and is especially common in older or rural Australian vernacular. It can mean anything from hanging out with mates to courting someone, depending on context.
