littlealex's Aussie Lingo

littlealex posted a quiz on Aussie slang, but no one can see the results, so I decided to copy mine here so I could keep them. Also the little text boxes were too short, so I couldn't expand the definition properly. This may be of use to the non-Aussies on my flist, particularly Hedda, though she's probably heard some of them by now. ;)

Also featuring a couple of bonus words, to make up for the couple I either wasn't sure of, or hadn't heard.

Dropped the videos off today and went to KMart to read A Hat Full of Sky for an hour. I've been reading it in installments, as I cannot afford to buy it, or even clear my debts with the local library so I can borrow it (I've just checked, and it's $2.60. Which I can probably afford if I use some of the petrol money Steph gave me). I discovered that it is only $26 in KMart at the moment, so I am wondering if I could possibly sell a kidney or something so I can buy it. Because I need it. And I need it in hardcover. And $26 is at least $10 less than I paid for Wee Free Men in hardcover, and that was on discount at Borders. Want, want, want. Think I'll call Drake again tomorrow.

For some reason, my Black Books icon seems to be stuck on the second frame. This is very odd.
