Random Aussie Facts

    • On an Australian menu what we call an "appetizer" in the US is an "entree" in Oz, and what we call an "entree" is called a "Main" down under
    • Chunder the Aussie word for puke 
      (as in the lyrics: We come from the land down under
      Where the women glow and men chunder...)
    • Koalas brains are about the size of a walnut, rendering them a bit dim
    • A swim suit is called either your "swimmers" or "cossie" (short for swimming costume) depending on what part of the island you are on
    • Breakfast is "Brekkie"

    For further explanation on how to "speak Australian" listen to the song 
    Waltzing Matilda on the playlist.
