🇦🇺 Slang from Australia

A super relaxed way of saying "no problem" or "you're welcome". You say it when someone thanks you or apologises, to show it's all good.

Breakfast, plain and simple. Aussies love shortening words, and the first meal of the day is no exception.

The bottle shop, which is what Aussies call a liquor store. It's where you go to buy beer, wine or spirits.

Packed to the brim or totally crowded, with no room left. It's a short way of saying "chock-a-block".

Really happy, pumped or thrilled about something. If you're stoked, you're over the moon.

Means "a lot" or "loads", like "heaps of people". Aussies also use it to mean "really" or "very", as in "heaps good" or "thanks heaps".

A day off work that you call in sick for, and quite often you're not really sick at all. People usually say they're going to "chuck a sickie".

A petrol station, the place you fill up the car. Most servos also sell snacks, drinks and pies, so people pop in for food too.

It's just the Aussie way of saying "afternoon". You'll hear it all the time, especially in "this arvo", which means later today after lunch.

Someone seen as rough around the edges and unsophisticated, kind of like a British chav or an American redneck. It can be a put-down, but plenty of people use it fondly or even call themselves one.

To throw a tantrum or lose your cool, like a baby spitting out its dummy (pacifier). Usually said about adults acting childish.

It means no. The 'yeah' just shows you heard the question or kind of see the point, and the 'nah' is the real answer.
