List #1: Top 5 Aussie-isms

In response to Kev's Top 5 list and as promised, i'd post top 5 anything as requested. So here goes... List Number ONE: Aussie-isms (aussie phrases or slang) I have picked up since living here

1 Mackas (although i hardly ever eat Mc Donalds here, we still talk about, and when we do, I say Mackas)

2 'See ya!" (as opposed to what i used to say "bye!")

3 'What d'you reckon?' (picked up at Subway, that's how everyone asks what co-workers think of the bread and if it's ready to go in the oven)

4 Recharge (as opposed to saying Reload Card for phone credit, don't know if this counts)

5 'How's it going?' (seldom used)

Thanks for reading and thanks for caring!

Nice nice. Thanks for writing up that top 5 request. Maccas is a household Aussie lingo that Shinko the American didn't get cos she called it 'Mickey D's' WTF.

I got another one:
