Definitions
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.
He answered the door still in his trackie daks, clearly not expecting anyone to visit.
