Sound like fun? You decide.
Good luck and have fun!

Glad you liked it and learned something too! Thanks a bunch for playing.
i have a lot of friends in Oz, got 8 right!
g’day and good on ya!
Gnarly score dude, you know heaps about the down unda slang. That’s sick mate, you little ripper!
cool beans
as they say in Cincinnati!
This was a lot of fun and I got 7 of them. I remember once picking up some Australian rhyming slang
Thank you Sandra. Looks like it stuck with you! Great job.
I got 10 out of 10 – unbelievable! I’ve never been to Oz but I have known a few Aussies over the years. And I used to love watching Crocodile Dundee (do you know him?) Nonetheless some of these were pure guesses, so well done me 🙂
I have to tell you about something that happened about 20 years ago. Our neighbour’s brother had been living in Oz for years and was visiting with his two-year-old kid. As I was walking up the road the little fella was out there with a bunch of neighbourhood toddlers looking completely, totally lost. I came up to him and said, in my best imitation of an Aussie accent, “G’day mate!” You should have seen his little face light up like it was Christmas. He looked up at me with something like pure love 😀
Congratulations Norman! Well done, mate!
I have known a few from down under myself, I married one long ago. Almost another lifetime ago.
Yes, I watched Dundee, Oh stevo! The Wildlife preserve is still open. His wife and two kids run it.
What a great story, how cute and sweet.
You were married to an Aussie! Wow, lucky man 😀 You ever visit down under?
Awe, thanks. That’s so sweet, and no. Sadly I have not, but that is one place I would really love to go to.
I knew almost nothing, learned new slang now.
Wow I learned a lot form this one Kim. Cool photos as usual.
Thank ya Ma’am! I thought..this is English? Glad you liked the photos.
Oh my, I found out I know nothing.
lol, I have to admit, I learned a few too while making this one.
Knickers are Australian slang? What else would anyone call them?
LOL yes that was my thought too! I reckon they must be something else in America 🙂
hahaha, silly guys, they are panties!
We do not call them knickers. lol, this made me laugh. Both of you! We call them underwear, or panties.
