Aussie Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI!!!

Hey Dudes and Dudettes, who is stoked on the Billabong Pipeline Masters Tourney ? We are for sure! Even though Kelly Slater wasn't the one to take the title for the 7th time we are frothing over winner Taj Burrow, the 31 year old Aussie ripped it yesterday on Oahu's North Shore...



Just as rad as watching was listening to the Aussie slang. Some of our favorites include:

1. Frothing: Loving it.
ex: Taj was frothing those waves yesterday.

2. Heaps: Lots, a ton.
ex: There were heaps of cute chickies on the beach watching the tourney.

3. A over T: to fall over, from "arse over tits".
ex: I drank too many bevies after the tourney and fell A over T into the gutter

4. Darwin stubbie: In Darwin this is a 1.25 litre bottle of beer. In the rest of the country a stubbie is a 375 ml bottle of beer, quite a difference. Legend has it that in Darwin a long road journey is not measured in time or distance but in stubbies, i.e. the number of stubbies drunk en-route.
ex: You prolly fell A over T because you had one too many Darwin stubbies at the bar, ya lush!

5. Dunny: Toilet or lavatory, originally an outside toilet or outhouse, now a generic term for the toilet regardless of location. Sometimes referred to as the Thunder Box! Different from the bathroom which really does contain a bath or shower for cleaning your personage.
ex: Maybe thats why I thought the flowerpot in the front yard was a dunny.
