serviette=napkin
napkin=tampon; yes, I made that mistake. I continue making it.
fizzy drink=soda
chips=fries; I don't like this one. They're fries damn it!
crisps=chips
flog=steal
gidday- yes they seriously say that... all the time
gumboots=rainboots
kiwifruit- you were right dad, they don't understand when the food is referred to as a kiwi... they think you want to eat an endangered bird
lolly=candy; I mean any sort of candy, not just lollipops - that would make too much sense
petrol=gas
good on ya=awesome, congrats
scull=chug
dodgy=shady
whinge=whine (you pronounce the g)
