Australianisms!!!

So we thought we knew all of the Australian terms we would need for our stay on the East Coast- wearing thongs and not flip flops, swimming togs and not costumes, asking for a schooner of beer and not a pint etc etc. However, upon chatting with our delightful granddaughters it appears we were uneducated on many fronts. The following terms have been vital during this trip
Zombie chews - a sour chewy sweet
Violet crumble- a sweet very similar to crunchie
Redskins- chewy lolly
Dagwood dog - hot dog sausage wrapped in breadcrumbs, fried
Fairy bread - bread and butter with 100s and 1000s sprinkled on top
Cheerios - frankfurter type sausages
Cotton candy and fairy floss - types of candy floss
Up and go - breakfast drink
Milo- a chocolate drink or cereal
Tim tams - a biscuit like a penguin
Lamington - cake covered in chocolate icing and coconut
Spider - soda with ice cream
Trollie - brand of lolly
Warheads - extremely sour chewy sweets
Lamington flavoured chips
Bertie beetle - chocolate with bits of honeycomb in the shape of a beetleもっと詳しく
