Wanna speak like an Aussie?

Hi everyone...Jackie here. Being a "yank" in the "Land Downunder"I've had to learn a whole new language in some respects, but thanks to Pam's patience, and all of her friends, I've managed to learn how to keep up with conversations, and keep my foot out of my mouth. (the latter learned after a few tastes of my toes)

Here are some words and phrases that might come in handy for you if you ever want to visit Australia and speak the lingo, or at least have an idea of what's being said. Be sure to check this list often. We'll be adding more as we think of em. Study it well and soon, you too can be talking like a "fair dinkum" aussie. Well...maybe with a little help on the accent. =)

* These lingo pages could not have been done properly without the help of "The Penguin Book of Australian Slang A Dinkum Guide to Oz English" by Lenie "Midge" Johansen.
