Aussie Slang Quiz (Tina's Post)
I was watching an Australian movie the other night and
I couldn't understand much of the dialog. So,
I looked online and found a list of Aussie Slang. Then,
out of boredom, I decided to make a quiz for our friends
who are going with us on our trip to OZ.
Directions:
Get Pen and Pencil to write down answers to 10 questions.
(It's not as much fun if you don't write down the answers.)
The answers and scoring system are at bottom of quiz.
