heaps
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".
There were heaps of people at the footy, and the pies were heaps good too.

arvo
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.
I'll swing by yours this arvo once I knock off work.
wagwan
A laid-back way of saying 'what's up?' or 'what's going on?'. It comes from Jamaican Patois and you'll hear it all over London.
Wagwan, fam? Haven't seen you in time.
allow it
Means 'stop that', 'leave it' or 'forget about it'. People often cut it down to just 'low it'.
Allow it, man, I'm not lending you money again.
peak
When something's peak, it's bad luck or just plain awful, like 'that's rough'. Confusingly, in some parts of the UK people use it to mean the opposite, that something's good.
I missed the last bus home and my phone died, that's peak.
bare
Means loads of, or a lot of something. It also works like 'really' or 'very' to crank up whatever you're saying.
There were bare people at the party last night, it was bare jokes.
yeah nah
It means no. The 'yeah' just shows you heard the question or kind of see the point, and the 'nah' is the real answer.
Wanna come for a run at 6am? Yeah nah, I'm good.
sanga
Just a sandwich. It's the casual Aussie way of saying it, like you'd grab one for lunch or from the bakery.
I'm starving, gonna grab a ham and cheese sanga from the servo.
