Are you after a middy or a schooner?

If you think Aussies speak English, well, you'd almost be right.  The words are English - although the spelling may not be - and how the words are used - it might take a bit.  Give this a go and see how you do.


Before I hot up, why not tinney over for a walk-a-bout.  We'll have a chin wag about what's on.  Oh, and don't forget your sunnies!
Translation:  Before I get busy, why don't you take your boat over and meet me for a stroll.  We can chat about what's happening.  Oh, and don't forget your sunglasses!


Oh, "middys" and "schooners" - beer glass sizes and not to be confused with a Five or a Jug.  But then you knew that! 


"What are you after?" No, no, don't turn around and look behind you.  That means "What can I do for you today?" 

We're catching on - but the Aussies do love our accent!
