To all of you who have only one Aussie saying in your repertoire (Let's put another shrimp on the bar-b!) even though people really do say bar-b:
Aussie (pronounced Ozzie): Australian
Kiwi: New Zealander
mate: friend, enemy, brother, sister, child, stranger
bloke: man
How's yas going?: How are you guys doing?
How are you going?: How are you doing?
Is it fine?: Do you like your food?
What do you reckon?: What do you think of this place?
Eat here or take away?: For here or to go?
Pram: baby stroller
Trolley: shopping cart
Feb: February
Don't piss in my pocket!: Don't flatter me.
Don't come the raw prawn on me, mate!: Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes.
Capsicum: bell pepper
And you must shorten everything. For example: uni (university), brekkie (breakfast), rellies (relatives).
...just to get you started.
