After realizing how much abuse I have done to my blog, I wanted to write a short, fun post to prove I have not fallen off the face of the earth. This past week I moved home from college and found a lot of my stuff from Australia, including my journal I kept. In the back I kept some fun slang terms I learned while abroad. Here are just a few random ones:
Lift = Elevator
Rubbish = Trash
Cheers = Hello/Goodbye
Dunnie = Outhouse (although we called ever bathroom a dunnie because we thought it was silly)
Chooks = Chickens
Fire Brigade = Firemen
Sun Bake = Tanning
These are the first few slang terms I really encountered, but have more to come in the future that are a lot more fun. I will close with this insult our professors told to us:
"I hope you chook turns into an emu and kicks down your dunnie!"
Think about that one!
