Australian Slang (Will update as I get more)

So here are a few words and phrases I've picked up on. It's not too difficult, but they loooooove to shorten words.

Straya= Australia

Mackers= McDonalds

Heaps= A lot

Hectic=??? It's pretty much the same, just used more frequently and kind of cooler. For instance Me: I have
Friday and Mondays off, Aussie: Hectic!

The States= America of course

Kiwis= New Zealanders, which Australians do not associate themselves with unless quote "They are sports
stars or celebrities."

Brekkie= Breakfast, a word I will never adopt

Sheila= A lady

Rubbish= Trash, waste

Uni (You-knee)= University
