still more australian-ese

it's been a while since the last lesson, but i figure i should be updating you all. it's really an ongoing process, as i am still learning as well. it's still a lot of abbreviations, as that is the way people speak here. one of my friends told me it's because they're lazy!

christmas= chrissy
presents = prezzy
position= possie (pronouned pozzie)
relatives= relos

suspect (as in, something is): suss
disturbing: shocking (pronounced shahking)
that's nice: beaut
bachelorette: hen
bachelorette party: hen's night
show up = rock up (currently one of my favs)
men's underwear = jocks
cleats= footy boots
tape (athletic) = strapping

and john's favourite saying...

"teaspon of cement? ... harden the f- up!" said when a bloke gets upset.
