Aussie words

Since I arrived here 2 months ago (crazy that it's already been so long!!!), I've been keeping a list of words in my journal that are different from "American" English words. Some of them are fitting and I think some are just ridiculous and I feel so funny saying them, but whatever!

how are you going = what's up (i've actually started saying this without effort!!)

i'm going to do wash = i'm going to wash the clothes

biscuit = cookie

cordial = kool-aid

rubbish = trash

bin = trash can

suss it out = feel it out

trolley = shopping cart

flat white = cafe au lait

Macca's = McDonald's

sanga = sandwich

paddle pop = popsicle

ta = thank you (this one I cannot get used to!!)

cheers = bye, thanks, etc. (don't exactly know but they say it all the time)

jumper = sweater

sunnies = sunglasses

key volunteer = student leader

diary = planner/agenda
