I'll just have to warn you Pp, here's what we think

Quickie
Australian blokes are renowned stayers, so no-one here would understand what a quickie is.

Getting a little
Must be an expression used by American girls, never heard it here!

Pocket Rocket
Used to describe a small fast car.

Pocket Pool
I guess that's what you get when you have a wee in someone's pocket. (To do so in a pocket is an expression meaning to "butter him up" :eek: -now see what sort of trouble you get me into avoiding the censors **.

Going round the world
Well of course, that's how you are going to get here and use all this new-found language skill.

Afternoon delight
Well here, delights aren't necessary in deafternoon, because even in Melbourne desun doesn't go down till deevening.

One eyed snake
Steve Irwin has a few of these in his animal hospital, usually caused by a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.

Not to be confused with the trouser snake which is endowed with one less than the customary pair.

These are also amoung a group of terms eaisly understood by all. It's nice to be able to exchange communications to further our understanding of each other's culture.
Yes, but be careful. Meanings are not the same, some subtle some not so, but we look forward to your visit!!

Cheers,

P
