    pansin ko lang, pag kausap mo locals with aussie accent, nadadala ka. pero subukan mo kumausap ng indian o ibang lahi, nawawala ka pati grammar mo nakakalimutan mo :))
    totoo yan... bilang lang Pinoy na kaibigan ko dito sa TH.. Lagi ibang lahi mga kasama ko. Ansakit sa ulo kapag mga Briton at Aussie ang mga kasama na. Pero eventually kapag sila lagi kausap mo madadala ka rin... yun lang kapag sila sila na nagusap, ang hirap na nang slang nila hehe. Lagi ko sinasabi bagalan ang salita hehehe

    being a former part time speech trainer in Manila, sympre gusto ko din gamitin ang skills na yun for possible other opportunities in case ayoko na or gusto ko namang mag career shift from being an accountant. i was able to buy online a software for aussie accent and pronunciation trainer. it helps to understand others better and be better understood. this software is endorsed by the govt for use in schools. kelangan ko din kase i serve as a reader in the parish so magandang mejo mabawasan ang american pronunciation ko.

    Here are some slang:

    Ta = thank you
    gimme a tic - give me a sec
    bugger off = go away
    cool bananas = cool or thanks but sometimes this can be thanks monkey. Depends how they say it in a sentence. I heard this mostly when they are infront of Chinese.
    boogie = kulangot
    cheeky = wais ka or clever. Depends on how they used it.
    aggro = aggressive
    bs = bullshit
    one of their fave expression "bloody" = very
    chook = chicken
    chips = fries
    dipstick = idiot
    fruit loop = fool
    Gabba = Wooloongabba (the Brisbane cricket ground)
    heaps = a lot
    kindie = kindergarten
    lippy = lipstick
    Maccas = (pron. "mackers") : McDonald's (the hamburger place)
    Pig's arse! = I don't agree with you
    Rego = vehicle registration
    Rubbish = garbage or to criticize. e.g. What he said was rubbish! = what he said was nonsense.
    Servo = petrol station
    Tucker-bag = food bag
    Uni = university
    Vedgies = vegetables
    whereabouts = where. Whereabouts do you live? whereabout did you go this weekend.
    White pointers = topless (female) sunbathers
    Yabber = talk (a lot)

    If you want to know a lot of slang and speak like local talk to them and you will learnt heaps.
