australian lingo

i am making a list of the australian lingo that we are picking up as we go:

"dull bludger" : living off the government, being lazy, etc
"king stong" : strong drink
"pissed" : drunk/wasted
"saturday week, friday week" : next saturday, next friday
"arvo" : afternoon
"stupid as, hot as" : stupid as shit, hot as hell, etc (they just drop everything after as)
"lollies" : candy (makes you feel 8 again)
"gems" : tator tots
"pluto pup" : corn dog

we were at the south bank in brisbane the other day trying to order lunch and i wanted a corn dog and tator tots. i couldn't even order the damn things because there weren't any signs and they looked at me like i wasn't speaking english. i ended up having to just point until she figured it out. i didn't think it was going to be harder to order food here then in korea! =)
