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
Dearest Jo-Anne,
Did not know any of those but love the Tall Poppies—that stands out.
Hope you’re feeling better!!!
Hugs,
Mariette
To me these are terms used often during my childhood and life but then I am an Aussie
So true, I’ve only worked there a couple of times for a few weeks…
Probably not a common usage, but my ex son-in-law, in WA, used tinny as a measure of journey times. Whenever we left the house, he would enquire, ” Is this a 1, 2, or 3 tinny journey”
It takes as many tinnies as it takes to complete a journey
