what phrases are unique to Australia that are particularly good? My friend is going there next year so I want to help her fit in

fuckyeahloldemort:

“Cheers” (means thank you)
“No worries” (means it’s all good/or it means you’re welcome)
“Yeah nah” (means nah)
“Nah yeah” (means yeah)
“Just up the road” (means anywhere between a 2 min walk to a 20 min drive)
“Howyagowan” (means how are you)
“Fuck me” (means startled, or exhausted)
“Gday” (means hello)
“Thongs” (flip flops)
“Soft drink” (soda)
“Snag” (sausage)
Abbreviate everything (Australia = straya, football = footy, biscuit = bikky, McDonald’s = maccas, devastated = devo, definitely = defo, afternoon = arvo, this afternoon = s'arvo, breakfast = brekky, service/gas station = servo, bottle shop = bottle-o, postman = postie, smoke break = smoko, u-turn = uey, Facebook = facey, sunglasses = sunnies, Christmas = chissy, spaghetti bolognese = spag bol, hectic = heckers, Brisbane = brissy, ambulance = ambo, cigarette = ciggy/durry)

Basically just add O to anyone’s name to shorten their name (glenno, shaneo, steveo, tommo, davo, etc)

Also very few of us have ever had a shrimp on the barbie (which we call prawns). So it’s not a popular phrase.
