Expanding my vocab

Well, as I stated before I am living with two Australian girls. So, needless to say, I am learning some new sayings/words. I thought I would share them all with you. I will continually add as I hear more. Also, the vocab I am learning from the British or Europeans.

**Note: if you ever meet an Australian, ask them to say squirrel. They say it funny! They actually pronounce the i, where as we don't.
