It was technically Saturday, but better late than never mate!

Anyhow mate, this arvo a bloke I know sent this and I thought I'd let it have a fair go.  If you're lost due to aussie speak, no worries.  See it's Summer in Sydney, OY!  Time to turn on the barbie, fill the eskie, drink some schooners or middys and chillax this arvo. ARRIGHT!

I'm mad as a cut snake for beer o'clock so here are some of my fav:

Anyhow mate:  a saying used to change the subject when talking (usually when they bored with what you are saying)

this Arvo:    this afternoon

Aussie (pronounced OZZIE):   someone from Australia - an Australian

Ay? or eh?    didn't catch what someone has said, or pardon me

Barbie:    barbecue cooking outdoors

Beer o'clock: Knock off time, time to finish what you are doing and have a well earned beer

mad as a Cut snake    someone very upset, that could do anything

Esky:    large insulated box which you put ice bricks in, to keep food and drink cold (beer)

Fair-go Mate!    statement you make when someone is not letting you do or say something

Ga day, Gidday or G'day:    a friendly welcome (same as hello or hi)

Middy:    285 ml beer glass (NSW)

Ocker:    Aussie that likes beer, sport and women and uncultured

Orright!:    All right! Can mean great delight but could also be a protest at being asked to do something you don't want to do. Depends on the tone of voice

Oy! or Oi!:    a Aussie bush call
