In Australia, an outdoor grill is known as a barbie\xa0and clothes are called clobbers.\xa0\xa0If something is terrific, it\u2019s a ripper\xa0and candy is referred to as\xa0lollie!

French Fries are "chips" and potato chips are crisps.\xa0 Men are blokes and women are sheilas, and someone who is a little crazy is known to have a few Kangaroos loose\xa0in the top paddock!
