Good morning, or afternoon or maybe it is evening where you are, anyway you may have noticed that there was no post yesterday as I was not feeling very well and even though I am feeling some what better I am still not 100%.

Anyway here are this weeks Aussie slang.


Strides: Trousers or pants


Tall Poppies: Successful people


Too Right: Definitely


Tea: Super or dinner


Tinny: Can of beer, or a small aluminium boat

  3. I use all your words in speech and blogs, except for strides. My words for pants are all in Yiddish - gutges, hayzen etc
