Ok, so us Aussies and ‘Mericans both speak English (and probably better than most English do, too). But sometimes we can get in bit of a tangle with each other.
There are certain words that when they roll off the Australian tongue may leave our American friends quite bewildered and possibly even a little red.
So, when speaking to Americans, be careful about using these 10 Aussie words that mean something totally different in the good old USA:
#1: Barbie
#2: Root
# 3: Scratchy
#4: Billy
#5: Thong
#6: Hottie
#7: Cactus
#8: Oldies
#9: Mate
#10: Oz
