Oh those Aussie’s!
Spelled: *Pronounced in Australian:
Toohey’s Extra Dry * Ted’s
Leake St. *Lake St.
Angel’s Café *Andrew’s Café
Aqua *Ackwa
Cindy *Sydney (or my favorite) Jacinda
Who would have thought Cindy was such a difficult name?
Other great terms learned:
“He’s gone runner” -meaning a person who fled the bar after dropping a full beer on the floor, breaking the glass. Several occurrences of “runners” within an hour at the pub.
*Footie- Rugby
*Hen- Bachlorette
*Buck- Bachelor
*Capiscum- Red or Green Pepper
Other things of note:
There is the most amazing selection of flavored tuna in a can here. For instance, red capiscum with chili, lime and black pepper, tomato and onion, herb and garlic, and these are just a few. All very tasty, why do we not have this in the US?
