1) most students I've met at UNSW are doing a double degree.
2) It's "Mr. Sheen" here, as opposed to our "Mr. Clean" cleaning product
3) Hungry Jacks is a fast food place with the same symbol as Burger King
4) Thickshake describes Milkshakes/smoothies
5) They have canned or bottled rum and coke, bourbon and coke, whiskey and coke, vodka and coke. Everywhere.
6) They spell it "tyre" those things on a car
7) a car has a bonnet and a boot, in Canada it's the hood and the trunk
8) everything is abbreviated to something ending with a "ie" sound "surfie" even though it's the same number as letters as "surfer"
9) Slice... that's cake in a pan, cut into squares. it's not slice of... just slice.
10) rhetorical questions followed by an answer containing "heaps". e.g.:
Aussie 1: How good is this slice!?!
Aussie 2: Heaps good!!
11) I heard a guy say "skooers" for skewers
12) this is not really related, but I also heard people talk about "impotency". it's impotence.
13) Ok something that really bugs me: there are elections next weekend, so there are loads of campaigns, not to vote for someone, but AGAINST!?! What the? that's so not the point of elections!!!
14) saying "ta" or "cheers" instead of thank you. Maybe I should start saying that...
