TopDeck is an Australian tour company and so the majority of the people on our trip and anyone we come into contact with at the Sites are Aussies so we have learned some new vocab:
Dodgy: Same thing as sketchy
Cheers: They say this all the time, like we say cheers but also in place of thank you.
Rubbish: Trash
Chewey: Gum
Sunneys: Sunglasses
Mackers: Mc Donalds
Hungry Jacks: Burger King
Kiwis: People from New Zealand
This Afvo: This Afternoon
A Sammi: A Sandwich
Cheeky Bugger: Can be used affectionately or to say someone is being annoying or silly
Variations on Cheeky bugger: cheeky bastard, cheeky shit, etc.
Rubbers: Erasers
Breaky: Breakfast
Jandals: flip flops
Duner: A comforter/ duvet on a bed
Aye?: What?
Some of these are also from my time in England
I might add more that I forgot later :)
