Ok. So today, I am going to "Australianise" some words. First things first, though. We have a stereotype of going around in a singlet and thongs (flip flops) saying stuff like "G'day mate. I'm just about head home after buying some snags for the barbie from this joint. In the arvo me mate Jocko is comin' over for a stubby then I've got brekky with the missus in the mornin'. I gotta tell me mate to bring his togs. After that I gotta ride my roo to the chippa so I can feed me kiddies, but right now I'm gonna pop into the dunny for a sec." and I would like to make it clear that we aren't like that. Well, not all of us anyways *cough cough* my parents *cough cough*. The 'American' version will be on the left while the 'Australian' version will be on the right. DISCLAIMER: This chapter is purely for fun and is not made to 'trigger' or offend anyone. I am an Australian and enjoy our culture. Also if you are American and say these terms, it doesn't mean you are Australian. Americans can and possibly do say these terms (some at least) too but I put them here anyways.
Enjoy.
