I bessech that you tell us more of thy quaint tongue and what it really means :)

Yeah, sorry mp, I sorta forgot youse lot might not know what we call our tucker. Thanks for the link to the poem. Reading classical literature is all well and good but it can get youse all mixed up.

Snags? Well they're just the same as Mystery Bags. Reckon they might be a bit like the Pom's bangers but with more sawdust. Must have given ya a bit of a chuckle thinking the rivers full of bangers! Nah, them snags are just stuff like dead trees, Mum's old Whirlpool and tyres off've the ute.

Tinnies are what beer comes in. Ya could've got stubbies or long-necks but we don't want no broken glass getting in the trifle eh. If yer down the pub you don't want a tinny but, you'd ask for a schooner. See this is where literature got ya all mixed up again. A tinny is an aluminium boat. Ya wouldn't ask for a boat full of beer even on a hot day would ya?
