Land of slang and abbreviations

Australia is the land of slang and abbreviation. A barbie, an eskie, Freo, Tassie, I cannot even mention all the other words it's too much ;-)

Wanna come to our piss up? = Wanna come to our party?
How ya going luv? = I hope you're feeling well
Don't get your knickers in a knot = Don't upset yourself
What a stinker of a day = it's a hot day
Cool bananas = cool
Flat out like a lizard drinkin' = Very busy
I reckon = yes, absolutely
Howya going? = How are you?

And so on, and so on, and so on.......It's really confusing :-))
