The little differences

Aussie translation - part 1:

"Hey, how's it going" - "Hey, how ya going"
Non-fat latte = Skinny latte
Coffee = eh, no such thing. You gotta specify: Cap? Latte? Flat White? Long black?
Dude = Mate
Soccer = Soccer
"You're welcome" = "No worries"

Pharmacy = Chemist
1 mile = 1.6 kilometres
Organization = organisation

Mickey D's = Mackers

Burger King = Hungry Jack (yeah, I don't know why)
(But thankfully:) Whopper = whopper. (Whew!)
