Allow it, man, I'm not lending you money again.
Top rated
The slang people approved the most.
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.
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.
servo
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.
We're nearly out of fuel, let's pull into the next servo and grab a pie while we're at it.
sickie
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".
The surf's pumping today, I reckon I'll chuck a sickie and head to the beach.
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.
stoked
Really happy, pumped or thrilled about something. If you're stoked, you're over the moon.
I got the job! I'm absolutely stoked, mate.
chockers
Packed to the brim or totally crowded, with no room left. It's a short way of saying "chock-a-block".
Don't bother going to the beach today, it's absolutely chockers.
bottle-o
The bottle shop, which is what Aussies call a liquor store. It's where you go to buy beer, wine or spirits.
Can you stop at the bottle-o on the way and grab a slab for the barbie?
brekkie
Breakfast, plain and simple. Aussies love shortening words, and the first meal of the day is no exception.
Let's grab brekkie at that café down the road before we head off.
no worries
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.
"Sorry I'm running late!" "No worries, I just got here myself."
