typical expressions

The language in Australia is English as everyone knows, but there are some differences on some expressions between the English and American English. And some expressions doesn´t have anything to do with the British meaning.

Here I attached some expressions with the Australian meaning. I will explain it with practical examples to make easier for you to understand the purpose.

“Fair crack o´the whip”

This expression might make you a bit scared if you haven´t heard before... but don’t worry it will be good news whatever is going to say after that.

Imagine that your boss says to you, “i´m going to give you a fair crack o´the whip”, be calm! He is just trying to say that he will give you another opportunity or a fair chance.
