Talkin' Aussie Planning to visit Australia any time soon? Have you ever heard the saying "English-speaking people are divided by a common language?" As you try to find your way around this beautiful continent, a small "Aussie dictionary" might be useful. "Good day, Mate" -Yes, they really say this down here. It could be equated with the Southern expression "buddy", but it is used with total strangers and friends alike. "No worries" - Used like our phrase "no problem" "Car park" - Parking lot "Canteen" - Concession stand "Chemist" - Drug store "Toilet" - The bathroom - not a fixture in the bathroom "Lift" - The elevator "Rubbish bin" - Trash can "Serviette" - A napkin "Breakie" - Breakfast "Sunnys" - Sun glasses "Footy" - A football "Tucker Box" - Picnic basket "Bluey" - A red-head "Milko" - The milk-man (yes, they do have these) "Good on ya" - Good for you, well done "Totally buggered" - I'm really tired "Billabong" - Pond "Chips" - French fries "Lemonade" - Sprite "You've got two feet and a heart-beat" - Get up and do it yourself "Bathers" - Bathing suit "Entree" - Appetizers, not the main course |
