Hello everyone another hot and sticky day for me and a day for some Aussie slang.
Spit the dummy: To get mad or upset over something and go off ones head a bit over it
Sprung: To get caught doing something one shouldn't be doing
Squizz: To have a look at something
Station: A large farming type property
Straya: Australia
Yes indeed. We still use those expressions "properly" and not as slang :) Except for Straya - I have never heard that.
