Slang. Final Aussie Blog.

Since being in Australia, I have learned heaps of Aussie slang and lingo, and I thought I would devote and entry to the new words I acquired by writing a brief story of my time there.

The day I arrived in Melbourne, I met Stuart and Steven and immediately became mates. We decided to pre-drink and Stuart suggested we head to the Bottle-o around the corner, where we picked up a slab of Victoria Bitter. Since Stuart treated us to the beer, I said ta, and we skulled our piss. When I tried to pay him back, he said no worries. A few weeks later, after meeting Matt and Holly, we decided to have a barbie and made snags. Instead of putting the snags on buns, we rolled them in bread, the Aussie way, and spread tomato sauce all over. Matt even grilled up some capsicum. Then I met Katie, Laura, Charlotte, Hamish, Casto & Alan. We decided to rock up and head to the beach, instead of going to Uni. It was a beautiful arvo, so we made sure to wear our sunnies, though Katie CBF to bring hers. While in the sun, Hamish’s natural hair colour began to emerge and we laughed at him being a ranga- guess he won’t be rooting anytime soon (lol jk). Speaking of rooting, Laura and I were super keen on Footy and barracked for Collingwood. GOOD OLE COLLINGWOOD FOREVER- THEY KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. We wanted to go to one final game of the year, but we CBB to pay money and go. So we all headed to the pub, ordered some pints of cider and drank up. I wished it was Anzac Day so that we could have gotten a fair go at playing two up. After the pint, we got schooners of Pure Blonde, and when we were knackered we headed home to bed. The walk home was long and our feet hurt and I became aggro and whinged the entire way. I was told to eat some cement and harden the fuck up until a mate gave us a ride home and we said “cheers mate!” and headed up to our rooms in the lift. We were all pretty hungry from drinking all of that grog, so we did some Tim Tam Slams and ate lamingtons while watching telly. Katie and I will have to go to the gym together after eating and drinking all of that, and we’ll encourage each other by saying “GOOD ON YA!!” It was a full on evening and after chundering in the rubbish bin, I went to sleep. I’ll miss Oz, I had an awesome time FULL STOP.
