So I did some research and found that there are hundreds and hundreds of Australian English words and phrases, and a lot of them are used every day. So you’ll need to know them to survive here!
I found that there are 6 categories with lots of unique Australian words and phrases:

1. 
   Positive phrases — Australians are famously relaxed and positive, so it’s not surprising to find a lot of positive Australian words and phrases.
   
2. 
   Negative words and phrases for people — Australians enjoy making fun of each other. These phrases aren’t so aggressive — just fun ways of pointing out people’s downsides.
   
3. 
   Jobs — There are lots of Australian words for jobs.
   
4. 
   Words and phrases about drinking — There’s a big drinking (alcohol) culture here and some great phrases related to it.
   
5. 
   Places and things — There are a lot of things and places that have interesting Australian names.
   
6. 
   Clothes — Many items of clothing have special Australian names for them, too.

   There are some words of Australian English vocabulary from the research by G.Clark. Match the words with their definitions.

I thought it was a complaint. “Maybe I should’ve made it more challenging for him,” I thought. “I should’ve paid in five-cent coins or something.” Actually, this one just means “Sure! No problem!”.
