Cupper - a cup of tea, pretty obvious once explained but when my uncle offered me a "cupper" I was pretty confused.
Capsicum - what we call green/red/yellow pepper in Canada.
Pumpkin - butternut squash, apparently they don't have what we call a pumpkin in Canada.
Docket - receipt
Mate - friend/you there/person, this is a pretty well known one I think but people really do use it all the time, from the bus driver to my relatives, we're all mates
Footie - rugby, but only the "lower class" rugby league. The "upper class" rugby union is called rugby, yeah there's two types of rugby - I didn't know that either.
Bogan - a hillbilly/hick/lower class person. Pejorative. I saw some at the footie game I went to.
