Aussies use quite a few slang words , we usually have a mid morning cuppa ..we call it Smoko. I’m flat out today ( busy )got a doctor's appointment …shopping …all that stuff cause ya know I’m home for a change as my neighbour would say …..if I was a worker I’d have to say I’m gonna chuck a sickie to day cause I’m flat out like a lizard drinking so I’ve gotta run or I’m gonna be late for my very annoying check up at the quacks ..I’m not sick why do I need a check up …oh cause I had a blood test gotta go waste the docs time for that , and ask for more drugs I suppose ( BP pills )

( Covid or shingles ) for this old chook Aussie’s also say nah not for the little black duck but we are not allowed to say Black now days ….. wonder how people get on who’s names black , I must ask someone I know with the name black if she gets any backlash when she mentions her name ( cause it’s becoming a weird world now days )
