Dave .........explain "arvo" please mate !...........om clueless ..........need the low down
the skinny ......

 

Sorry Sprock, I've been over here since '88 so I've picked up the slang by now. 'Arvo' is just an abbreviation for afternoon. e.g. "Went for a ride yesterday arvo, it was the dog's bollocks!"

Hope that clears things up for you mate .

 

Lol... I love it. I worked with some Aussies and Tasmanian Firefighters (still Aussies ?) on a wildland fire in Washington State. Kinda like a foreign exchange student program for firefighters. I worked with some Aussies for about a month, an experience I will NEVER forget.

These guys were the BEST. I LOVED IT!!!...

Maybe a question for the Aussies... Is Alpaca (sp?) big there? This one guy guy LOVED is Alpaca Coat. He was completely warm and we were shivering lol.

Anyhoo.... my 2 favorite sayings I picked up from him, and still use....

1. "Duck Nuts" - I was told it ment "cool", "awesome", ect

2. "Pissing In Your Pocket" - Basically, pulling your chain, f-ing with ya....

I love it!

 

Alpaca is pretty big here,very expensive to buy though.A lot of hobby farmers here in Victoria.
A few of the Stawell,Baccus Marsh Firies went to the Canada Fires this year,no one from our Brigade though.
Hope you got on the Grogg with the Aussies............

 

Oh we "grogged" it up for sure . Damn near got tossed out of a couple places lol. Hell of a bunch of great guys.
