Aussie Speak

In preparation for a trip I try to learn at least thank you and please, it works wonders. Contrary to popular thought English isn’t universal, so I have been brushing up on Aussie Speak. My last visit to Darwin I spent hours listening to some of the strangest speak in the world and loved it. I tried some out on the little and only store in Cottekill NY this morning.

“ Morning Tim my good bloke, how are the lollies (candy) selling today? With the cold weather coming I didn’t have any problems with the mozzies (mosquitoes) or any rat bags. (Dishonest persons) I’ll take a few snags (sausages) but not the shonky (shoddy) ones. I’ll be back for my tinnies (beer cans) later. I got some cobbers (friends) coming by tonight. I sure hope I can flog (sell) a few pieces today, well ta (thanks) and I love your mate’s rates (discounts)”.

This should be a language option in school here!
