I've been gathering little tidbits of Aussie words and sayings to share with my readers. So here's a sample of what Australian words/lingo versus what Americans say:
Rock Melon = Cantaulope
Good On Ya = Congratulations
What's On = What's Happening (like on a weekend or evening)
Diary = Calendar
Fairy Floss = Cotton Candy
Lolly = any type of candy
Breky = Breakfast
And my personal favorites:
Having a yak = having a chat
Bloody Hell = insert your favorite swear word here.

I like rock melon better than cantalope. Makes it seem like the fruit should have a huge permed mullet and leather pants.
