Well this one is for Mel (Empress4). I have no idea which Aussie Lingo is confusing, but maybe this will help :D
bbq - barbeque
dh - darling husband
TJ - my daughter
BMW - my son and child no 2
Nath - junior son and child no 3
PB - personal best
snags - sausages, great Aussie food generally cooked on a bbq! Perfect eaten with tomato sauce (known as ketchup for you guys) and a wrapped in a slice of bread (white stuff, not that yucky sourdough)
Have I helped? Made you smile? Good mission accomplished.
Later!

LOL! Okay, go on, tell her about the
*serviettes*
*capsicum*
the meaning of the words
*ta!* and *arvo*
There are a lot more, but right now *this* American chick is finding it hard to remember them!!
::smiles::
I was going to ask about "snags" too. I figured it was food though :)
~Heidi...learning something new every day
To build on what glo-girl said:
Serviettes - napkins - you know the things you put on your lap in a restaraunt.
Capsicum - bell peppers
ta! - short for thank you or thanks
arvo - short for afternoon - as in "I'll be over sometime in the arvo"
what about - "Ava good weekend and don't forget the aeroguard!" ?? :)
No worries, mate
and we can't forget 'blue' a term used to call a redhead by. As in, her comes blue.
Hey thanks! Though I am sure there are other words tripping me up!!! :)

Blue has another meaning too.
Blue can mean a fight. AS in "There was a big blue at the pub last night"
What about...
E-hem... There was a big blue this arvo at the pub. Blue was real agro 'cause some yob was trying to win on to his misses. Said she was a dead cert to come to his place and russle up a few snags. "I might even crack out the serviettes for her" he said "Maybe even open a bottle of plonk I've had a home since Ned Kelly was a whipper snapper"
