“Cheers, mate” is the same as the English word, Thank You, while “No worries” or No drama” translates to “You're welcome” in

If you say 'thank you' to an Australian or you show your appreciation for something they've done for you, this is often the reply you'll hear.
Ta. 'Ta' means 'thank you'.
What two letter word do Australians use to say thank you? And finally, ta, this is a fancy way of saying thank you. My auntie says ta all the time so I guess it's more of an older generation thing... Sorry Auntie Tan, but it's very common to hear ta in the streets.

It is considered impolite to ask a direct question about a person's salary or wealth. Inquiring about someone's weight or age is also highly inappropriate in many situations. Spitting in public is rude. If there is a line for something, always queue and wait for your turn.
“How ya goin'?” is the ultimate Aussie greeting. If you're not from Australia, this mash-up of “How are you?” and “Where are you going?” might leave you a little perplexed. If it helps, think of how the Brits say “y'alright?” - it requires no detailed response. In fact, a simple “hey!” will suffice.

Ask an Aussie to name a truly Australian word, and they might yell "Bonzer!" Bonzer, sometimes also spelled bonza, means "first-rate" or "excellent," and it is the Australian equivalent of the American "awesome": "It's a good clean game ... and the standard is red hot," Thies said.
Swearing: Swearing is more common in Australia than in many other cultures. Television programmes are less censored and mainstream society is largely desensitised to words that foreigners may find vulgar. It is normal to hear an Australian swear at some point during a conversation.
In a 1950 copy of Meanjin, Phillips used the term 'cultural cringe' to define the penchant for Australians to see their artists and writers' work as inferior to anything from overseas, Britain and the United States in particular. As a consequence, many Australians in the cultural field spent time or moved overseas.

Dished up and Kerry-Packered. Aussie slang from the 1930s, this term is an extension of dished, meaning “ruined, beatened, damned,” according to Cassell's.
