Good morning this morning again.
Since this is my final full day in Australia, I thought I'd put together a little dictionary of all the terms that I've picked up in my three months here:
- Thongs = Flip-flops (you don't know how confusing that one can get)
- Root = Shag
- Bogan = Chav
- Bevan = Chav (Queensland only)
- Footie = Aussie rules
- Footie = Rugby league (Queensland only)
- Football = Aussie rules (Queensland only)
- Soccer = Football
- Holden Barina = Vauxhall Corsa
- Hungry Jacks = Burger King
- Pants = Trousers
- 24C = Freezing cold
- 99c/litre for unleaded petrol (around 40p) = Very very expensive
- Dancing With The Stars = Strictly Come Dancing
- Chip = Crisps
- Hot chips = Chips
- Persimmon = Sharonfruit
- Zucchinni = Courgette
Actually, that's about all I can think of at the moment. It's no use, there's no more putting-off packing any more. Best get going.
