Knob I think is more of a swear word than anything. As in 'knob head'. I love that phrase. But yes it does mean dick, but I only know people who use it as an insult.

And in New Zealand, flip flops are called JANDALS!

I never even noticed that when I was there. But probably because when I've been in New Zealand it's always been cold!

Oh, and Aussies say 'lollies' for what we call 'sweets' and what the Americans call 'candy'.

gherkins are a type of pickle so maybe that is what they meant.

I didn't read the whole thread so I apologise if I'm repeating stuff here.

I've noticed a few differences between Australians and Americans.

Aussies words are first obviously.

Boot = Trunk (car)
Bonnet = Hood
Capsicum = Bell Peppers
Lollies = Candy
Soft Drink = Soda/Pop
Bum Bag = Fanny Pack
Fanny = Vagina (lol)

I just drew a blank. Can't think of any more.

Is it true that faffy also means vagina in Australian slang? I heard that once and it weirded me out, because my nickname is Faffy. lol

Not that I'm aware of. I've never heard it anyway.

A chemist is indeed a pharmacy.

Here in Australia instead of "This music is really bad" we say "Bon Jovi".

Actually I'm pretty sure thats just me.

I

Not sure what that was about (my previous post), but I love Bon Jovi, i always have lol.

Damn you Jovi...

Anyways, the Pub here means Tavern over there I think.. you know.. The Drinking hole.

We also call it the "bar" around these parts lol

Thats the one!

and different words for being drunk thats a whole new can of worms...

you have sloshed/wasted/drunk/intoxicated and I know there are more.

sauced is another one lol.

Shit faced, rat faced, pissed, fucked, hammered....

Trashed, Fucked up, Completely Gone... ;D

I say schnockered, but I'm weird hahah.

I say schnockered too! :P

we use faded, plastered, smashed, gone & fuuuuuuccckkked up!!!!

A comedian over here called Michael McIntyre said that as long as you're posh, you can use any word to mean drunk. As in:

'Darling, I am completely bungalow'd!'

'Oh dear, I am quite panini'd!'

;D

I use pissed, wasted, wankered, fucked, trollied, mashed...

A pub is like the Moe's on the simpsons lol
a bar, is a pub that stays open late, plays loud music and has a dance floor
a club is the same as an american clun

No, a bar is like a pub on the Simpsons, at least all the bars in Wisconsin are. None of our bars that I had been to have dance floors, only clubs do.

I am not american, hence all my posts being what british people tend to call things

What you call "chips" we call "crisps" and we call "chips" what you call "fries" reserving the term "fries" for the skinny things you get from McDonalds and the like.

I read somewhere once that the English have over 50 slang terms for the word "drunk". To add to the growing list, there's also Trolleyed, Smashed, Inebriated, Arse-Holed, etc. And that ever glorious term for being hungover? "I'm rough as a dogs arse mate!"

It is also very common for an English person to say "hoover" instead of "vacuum".
