Foreigners visiting our country say they often have difficulty with the Aussie vernacular. For example, the shortening of words. Arvo, servo, g'day, footy, etc. Another is the great Australian "NOT" - how the answer to many questions is what it's not -
How are you today? Not bad.
How much further? Not far.
How many of those lollies did you eat? Not many.
What did you pay for those sneakers? Not much.
When are you knocking off? Not long.
