I've realised that a lot of you non-convicts don't understand a lot of Australian phrasing. So I'm going to condense most of what I'd say here, so you can use this as a reference.
Bonza - awesome
You little ripper/beauty - awesome
Fair Dinkum - True
To have tickets on yourself - arrogance
[insert word here] as (eg. sick as, hot as) - used interchangeably to very, really, etc. (eg. very sick, really hot)
Drop bear - aggressive koala bear that falls from the trees and mauls you
Hoop snake - snake that grabs its tail with its mouth to form a hoop, then chases you like a wheel full of venom
Yank/Yankee - American
Funnel Web Spider - Sage's biggest fear
That's all I got for now.

Pissed is more likely to mean very drunk than very angry.
Rooting is not a synonym for cheering.
My friend said I root for the red sox. That got some awkward looks.

<3?
Alex is right, although the meaning of "pissed" is used interchangeably between angry and drunk. You usually understand by the context of the sentence.

Well I'm scared out of my mind. I found a website that's a little too photo friendly. Christ.

The only one I didn't know out of these was the hoop snake, and I was massively disappointed to find out that it doesn't exist. I was gonna buy one and call him Oroboros.

You are always on the drop bear drive-thru menu.
