Different Expressions

I love some of the expressions I hear.  For example, at the Dag Sheep Station, the toilets are called Dunnies, which is what they used to be called back in the day of the sheep shearers who hired themselves out as they travelled about.  Later, this evolved into the ‘summerhouse’.  “Some are for him, and some are for her.”

Or when we stopped to go shopping one day, and one of the Aussie hosts asked me, “Are you shopping with your friends or with your handbrake?”
