Hello!!
Today's post is just about Australian slang! Some of the words aren't too different but its strange to hear different words for common things! I'm still catching myself having to ask people what things are just because they call it something else!
Heaps- A lot
Queue- line
Keen- up for something
Car park- parking lot
Park- parking spot
Arvo- afternoon
Busting- really really need to go to the bathroom
Rubbish bin- trash can
Footy- rugby---eh this is debatable
Jumper- sweater
Toasty- toasted sandwich
Mackers- McDonald's
How you goin'?- How are you?/ How's it going?
Goon- boxed wine
Take away- to go
Booking- reservation
Spew- vomit
Boot- car trunk
Air Con- A/C
Singlet- tank top
Sunnies- sunglasses
Lolly- Candy
I'm sure there's heaps more but right now this is all I can come up with!
Until next time,
Kimmy
