Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I'm off to the footie. I plan to see the Dragons cream the Roosters. I've got my scarf but I forgot my "beanie". What must I go back and get?
2. My uncle is all ready to go in his "stubbies" and "sunnies". Not a good look I have to admit, but he thinks he looks spot-on. What on earth is he wearing?
3. I believe in the USA one can actually eat a "sloppy joe". In Australia you are likely to put one on at the drop of a hat. What is it?
4. Now - what about "Reg Grundies"? I will tell you that this is rhyming slang for "undies" or underwear. Remember - you must always wear a clean pair of these - but who is Reg Grundy?
5. My friend tells me she is going surfing but it is cold. What item of clothing should she be wearing before she hits the water?
6. In some Australian states they are "cossies" and in others "togs". No matter which of them I am putting on, where am I going?
7. At his 21st birthday my brother "put on the wobbly boot". What on earth happened to him?
8. At the writing of this quiz I am bleary eyed from watching the 2004 Summer Olympics. Living "downunder" means watching events and their competitors in the wee small hours of the morning. Will any of the athletes be wearing "tracky daks"?
9. "Jocks" and "scungies" are indispensible items of clothing for all Aussies. They are both slang terms for underpants. When would the wearer be unconcerned if you could see their "scungies"?
10. Finally - while researching this quiz I came upon many slang terms for clothing I had never heard of. Then I saw the term "step-ins". Oh yes - I remember. What are "step-ins"?
