Australians are known for their unique slang expressions. Slang is informal, everyday words and expressions, usually more common in spoken English, rather than written English.
Australian culture is known to be quite casual and laidback - so these expressions, although informal, can be heard in lots of different contexts (including professional). Becoming familiar with these common Australian slang expressions will help you get one step closer to understanding Australians! ????????????????????
