Aussie slang

For anyone contemplating a visit to Australia this year, this site tells you all you need to know about the Aussie language.

Most of the slang has been knicked from us pommies in the first place...but only the Aussies could describe a red-head as "Bluey!" (sorry about the cras music)

I just thought I'd mention while we are on the subject of Aussies that yesterday was ANZAC day over in Australia. Its there’re equivalent to our Remembrance Day that we have in November (Poppy Day)
