Two Aussie-isms
I'm not sure if these are Australian phrasings, or just unique to The Lady and her family. But I noticed that The Girl uses these turns of phrase -- and it's not how **I** say it...!!!
1) "riding up" -- as in, "My undies are riding up on me"
2) “hop out” -- as in, “Time to hop out of the bath”
On the other hand, The Girls says "cookie", rather than "bikkie" (short for "biscuit" -- what Aussies call cookies). So, there's some balance. :)

I've heard those phrases from non-Aussies (Naussies?) before.
Hm! Maybe it's just my family, or my region of the U.S. that I hail from.
Love the term "Naussies". Must remember to use.
