Last call for Australianisms.

[clo_again]

Flatmate that's going to Australia for a year to study is leaving Friday and I'm still putting together a quick list of words and things she should know, via the Aussies on my f-list. Are there any words or expressions you can think of that I could put in? I don't know, like the Americans call a 'pavement' a 'sidewalk' - what do you call in Oz? Anything like that. :)

Yup. I was thinking, "is mark sure that this girl is legal?"

I didn't know that soccer in Australia and soccer in America is the same.

I always wondered if Australia was anything like that Mary Kate and Ashley movie called Our Lips are Sealed when all the Aussies were named Sheila and danced on boats. But I guess not, which is too bad.
