Ripper
Chrissie
Coldie
Chuck a u-ie
Bugged

  1. Fisho gets me every time... just sounds so silly *lol* and when you order a middy of midstrength.... why not a middy of middy? To me that sounds almost the same :) But then again, I'm just an odd Swede.

  2. its funny how quick you pick up the aussie slang when you live down under ! When you talk english in sweden they look at you a bit confused and ask if you are from Oz :)

  3. I know :D Im getting more Swaussie by the day *lol* Another one I came to think about today is Snags... try finding that one in yr Oxford Dictionary :D Swenglish jokes arent a hit either, I keep having to go back and explain everything and he still shakes his head.
    I think we might be a bit odd... but in a good way off course.
