If the rest of the English speaking world cuts Oz some slack, speaking
Strine will allow you to keep your probationary status as a member of
the English speaking countries. Too many additional funny words for
things, and your probation will be revoked.

BTW, I thought a "tinnie" was Strine for a can of beer. I would be
lost in Oz without some quick lessons in the local dialect.

Yep. Tinnie is also used for a beer. True Aussies prefer the beerincans as
its easier to cool down quickly. If you have access to a buld propane truck
a couple of squirts of liquid propane will cool a tinnie, but it will break
a bottle.
