Learning something everyday

As per the previous post, I went looking for a translation for the Australian term 'stubbie'. In doing so, I found a pretty interesting breakdown of how to drink when 'Down Under'. I'm not sure how many of you reading this are looking to backpack through Australia, but it's a pretty good read anyways...

Drinking for the uninitiated.

One of the many things described:

It goes like this...
"I'll have a cold slab of VB stubs mate out of 50"
This means that you wish to purchase 24 stubbies of Victoria Bitter (VB) in a box and you have a $50 note to give him for the purchase. The attendant will then go to fridge, get a carton of VB stubbies, go to the cash register and put the transaction through as though you gave him $50. He will then bring the change and the beer to you, take the $50, give you the change and the carton. You drive away. It's that easy!

Awesome!
