Hahaha just finished my job interview and turn on my phone to read this hilarity! Thanks to the Aussie's who jumped in with answers...I will put my own spin on everything when I get some time shortly. Thanks to the Kiwis jumping in like they have with their opinion, they love jumping into things like Australia because let's face it...Who would choose to live in New Zealand if they weren't born there? Bwhahahaha "fully beached bro!"2

My favourite Aussie wording is how we'll always say the opposite of what we mean. Example:
If you're having a bad day...
"How's it goin'?"
"Not to good mate, not to good."
If you're having a good day...
"How's it goin'?"
"Aw yeah, not too bad"
It's like we can't be completely committed to if it's a good or bad day until it's over.
Was hoping for something more colorful like "He needs that like a 3rd armpit"
Oh, like "nah, I'd rather have another gordon and gotch, so I don't have to go back to the trouble and strife"?0 -
