That's the ticket! There are plenty of websites dedicated to Down Under slang, so go on and get cracking. Man, that oughta get Dave's ticker primed.

No, no, you don't get it. Those aren't weird slang terms. They're perfectly normal standard English. The problem is with the rest of the world for not using them too. ;-)
