More Australian Slang

Good ON ya! = Good for you!

Fairdinkem = Still haven't figured out what this one means yet.

Have a Britney = Have a beer. Britney Spears; beer

Take a David = Take a shower. David Gower; shower. (I don't know who David Gower is)

How ya goin? = How ya doin?

Meant = supposed ("It wasn't meant to break")

Have a feed = Get some food

This arvo = This afternoon





I have picked up a few Aussie-isms myself. I end some of my sentences with, "hey?" now and I call my friends mates. It always sounds awkward when I hear myself say it, but I'm trying to fit in, hey? G'day, mates!

Hailey,

It's fair dinkum and it means "seriously?" or "for real?".

Hope your enjoying it over there. My wife's grandparents live there and they always confuse me with their crazy sayings.
