"chateau collapseaux"
pronounced 'chato collapso' - a tent... :-)
14 pounds weight = 1 stone.
trackie dacks - are the pants of a track suit.
"tell Kylie to tone down the goss for Professor Dion."
"kurta" - that's new on me... would need more context.
"10. "It's a fried egg and chili sauce sandwich. They're well sick."
I think this sentence should be punctuated like this: ...They're -- well--- sick". It's a statment about someone's eating habits. There should be pauses inserted. Sick = weird."
Sick has undergone many transformations - similar to the above, but the context would be important as now, 'sick' can also mean what 'cool' once meant - :-)
