So I’m thankful that Australian babe Margot Robbie took the time out from her busy schedule of promoting ‘Suicide Squad’ to explain to everyone what some of these slang words mean.

It’s just remembering it all that’s probably going to be the challenge for me.
Yeah, might start calling the off licence the bottle-o now because that’s a cool nickname right? Or maybe start dakking people on the reg too.
OK, most of that information was useless unless you’re planning on moving to Australia anytime soon, but it’s still nice to have some of that knowledge at the back of your memory. Maybe you can use it in a pub quiz or if you run into an Aussie at the bar sometime and they’re being annoying. Chances are they will be.
