On my first day of work in Australia, I had my first Australian slang lesson.
I spent a year living in Sydney, Australia.

My new boss came up to me and asked me a simple question: “How are you doing?”
“Going… where?” I asked, eliciting a laugh.
From Macca’s to budgie smugglers, the Land Down Under has plenty of great phrases to go with its beautiful beaches and near-perfect weather.
And while I no longer call Sydney home, there are still plenty of Australian words I can’t let go of.
