Very interesting. And when Aussie friends visited Florida, they felt the same way about our "Florida-speak"...I acted as translator for them...very funny! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21206#post-448640 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:02:18 +0000 AV 448640@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>bump </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21206#post-448591 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 18:10:56 +0000 AV 448591@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>... here's a couple for you downunder, with some Fla. slang....</p> <p>...

It must be a generational thing. I can remember when "She'll be right, I'm stuffed and Give it a crack" were well used but they have fallen out of usage now. International students here also have trouble with our slang. We have had fun with the girls foreign friends/flatmates explaining some things. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/21206#post-448541 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:32:38 +0000 jessij 448541@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Apparently lots of international students coming to Australia are having trouble understanding Australian slang. so this website has been created to help people understand. </p> <p><a href="http://www.e-phrase.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http://www.e-phrase.com.au/</a></p> <p>It's pretty funny and might be useful if any one plans on coming her...</p> <p>Hey Moonshadow do you say any of these things in NZ? </p>
