Toastie
October 30, 2007
After a night of drinks my brother and friends keep saying we need to have a “toastie.” I get so excited about the prospect of trying another Aussie treat. Alas… after getting home I find out that a toastie is just a grilled cheese 
Aussies tend to shorten everything, umbrella is a brollie, candies are lollies, bathing suites are cozzies (I think that’s how that’s spelled)?
But I have to hand it to my brother, that was a damn good toastie!
To add to the list of shorty words…
best friend=besty
beverage=bevy
yesterday=yesty
afternoon=arvo
blow job=blowie
garbage man=garbo
spaghetti bolognese=spag bolls
