    Aussie slang among one of the world’s ‘Banished Words’ of 2021 — here are some of the phrases that made it at the top of the list

    Yes realised that long ago once told a telephone caller "when they learn to spell correctly I might vote for them!" let the Americans spell it their way but when in Rome/ Australia do it out way! They cant spell anyway and constantly get their/there, hear/here mixed up and out of context.

    Thomas Markle rushed to the hospital, suffers from "major stroke"

    Totally agree, he will probably recover faster not having to see Meg and the stress that will cause. But I have to ask why was he going to UK to celebrate the Queen's jubilee?.

    What do Americans think about Australian cuisine? The answer will shock you…

    Australian couple’s date night gets scrutinised by Americans, Aussies quickly defend the couple — "As an Aussie, I say that it's 100 per cent normal"

    Quite right some American shoppers wear their PJ's and worse to the shops and they criticise us! My only caution would be watch out for creepy crawlies etc and maybe slip on the thongs/flip flops.

    Ditto and I check my fridge every Wednesday (Thursday is rubbish pick up) I also shop on Fri/Sat I only buy enough for a few days and live by my Mother's mantra. Use it up, wear it out, make it do or go without! It's amazing what you can make with an egg, cheese and a couple of tired veg.
