Bogans: The red necks of Aussies
A go: A chance, try
Fair go: Cause everyone deserves a fair go
Aussie Battlers: The Australian working class. Before someone explained this to me, I thought they were talking about a sports team.
How you going: How's it going? How are you doing?
TimTams: Yummy
I actually don't know a whole lot about Australia
How I know that the capital is Canberra: When I was on my semester in Europe, I was in Austria and I met these Australian guys who asked me where I was from. Most times I tell people I'm from Ottawa, they look at me blankly and ask if that's close to Toronto. When this happened again, I was like, "Ugh, well, it's just the capital of Canada."
"Well, no one knows the capital of Australia."
Uh oh. "Sydney...? Melbourne...?"
"No. Actually, it's Canberra."
BAM. Roasted.
It's colder than I thought it would be. Okay, maybe not really. Rather, when it's cold out, you never get warm.
Pashing: Really, really making out
Beaches are nice. And the sun really will kill you here cause there's no ozone above the entire continent.
Nappies: Diapers
People are nice here. Like Canada, but not Toronto.
My pre-paid monthly phone plan here is probably better than some 3-yr contract data plans back home.
They have these birds here that make this weird wailing noise, that the first time I heard it, I thought it was a baby crying.
