More on Semantics

Pissed = Drunk
How you goin = How are you doing
Torch = flash light
Swimmers = Swim Suit
Sunnies = Sun Glasses
Arvo = Afternoon
Take Away = take out
Chips = French Fries
Petrol = Gas
Ta = Thanks
Got a tick = got a second
Have a go = Try it

Its always funny to learn how what I know to be something have a different name here... it can cause some confusion but you just learn to roll with the punches... and play the "im american" card....
