Here is the last installment of "Speak Australian" - unless I come up with something else

Scones = Biscuits (sort of - we eat them with jam and cream)
My Shout = I'll pay this time
Singlet = Undershirt or tank top
Stickybeak = Nosy person
Snag = Sausage
Shonky = A questionable deal
Ta = Thanks
Tea = Dinner
Tucker = Food
Ute = Utility vehicle, pick up truck
Whinge = Whine
Woop Woop = A long way from civilization
Yobbo = Redneck
You Right? = May I help you?  Do you need anything?

I thought I would end this by showing you a comment my Dad left me a while ago.  He is being funny but it is very Australian!

I happened on your site with the random blogger feature. I love your dad's post - that is really fun to get the real definition for all of those terms. We are currently studying Australia, so I will be back to see more of your blog. Blessings to you!

It's good to hear some Aussie slang!! Not much of that around here! It always brings a smile to my face tho' and makes me homesick!
Thanks for the comment on my blog - I haven't been updating for ages. I do miss Oz, but it is also a blessing to be able to spend some years here. I am so thankful :)
Keep those "Aussie-isms" coming!!
On Ya Mate!!

These are great! Some I already knew, but not all. I'll have to study and try them out on my own Aussie in America neighbor/friend. She'll either be impressed or laugh a LOT at this southern girl trying to use the Aussie lingo! :-)

She'll be apples is the one I know.
I didn't know banana bender or bin.
A blow in is someone who is new to town.
Bugger off is not something that is really recommended to say.
