If you struggled to understand what that headline meant, then it's safe to assume you may be on 'struggle street' when it comes to 'gettin' ya head round the Aussie vernacular'.
Aussie slang is a topic that a lot of our CP's discuss with students, as it is a vital part of speaking to, and understanding native speakers while you are here in Australia.
PGIC comes to the rescue again with its all-new 'Aussie Slang Wall'.
Near the Activities Desk you'll find a line of 'Aussie Slang' posted up on the wall, with a few big sheets of paper - your task is to find out what the slang means. We're running an honesty policy here guys, so we will ask you not to ask host families, the CPs or your teachers what it translates to...
As our Prime Minister Kevin Rudd recently noted 3 or 4 times in a recent interview - 'fair shake of the sauce bottle'...
Actually, to be honest, I don't think any of us really know what that one means.
Have a go, try your best to work it out, and prizes will go to the students who can solve it!
