One of the most alarming differences in the language is the use of the word thong. Imagine my horror when discussing pool wear, when an Aussie mate mentioned he's be wearing thongs

Seems that's what they call flip-flops.

You shouldn't go out of the house without your thongs, reg grundies and pants.

If anyone puts "shrimp" and "barbie" in the same sentence on this thread, Ill kill 'em.

Here's a good one for Bathurst day though: "Warm the set, cool the tinnies!"
