1. Flat out
如果你说你flat out,意思就是,你超级忙!
例如:“This is my first week at uni. I’m flat out. I’ll have to meet you another time.”
2. I'm knackered
如果有人说I'm knackered,意思就是他非常累了。有时候也会听到有人说他“broken”意思也是非常累;

3. Far out
如果有人说自己far out,意思就是惊呆了
例如:"Far out! I left my phone at home and I only realised it when I got to uni."
4. Right
如果在一段对话中,对方一直在说“right”,这个意思是他们想让你知道自己在听,并且理解你说的意思;
如果你的讲师说“right”,可不一定代表着“你是对的”意思,可能只是说:好的,我知道了,谢谢你告诉我;
例如:
"Student: I forgot to do the assignment so I didn’t bring it."
"Lecturer: Right. Bring it in tomorrow."
5. An all-nighter

“Reckon”的意思是认为/相信某件事是可能的;
例如:"I reckon we can finish this project by the end of week."
7. Muck around
意思即使闲玩,或者浪费时间
例如:"Don't take them too seriously. They were just mucking around during the fair at uni."
8. Whinge
意思是抱怨某件事,可以说'have a whinge'或者'whinge on about';
例如:
"I'll be alright. I'm just having a whinge. Don't mind me."
"They were whinging on about how far they had to travel to get to uni."
9. Shout
不仅仅是喊叫的意思,还可能请客的意思;
例如:
