haha, that's also a totally standard Aussie phrase..."lets go to the pub, whaddaya reckon?"
or
bloke1 "I can drink more schooners than you!"
bloke2 "...ya reckon?"
bloke1 "Too bloody right I reckon" etc....
also, here's some sayings that have become common here and annoy the crap out of me:
"How good is that!?" whenever there's a positive outcome in anything, it's always "How good is that!?"
to which I reply "I dunno...just OK?....really excellent?...you fucken tell me..."
and
"Ordinary" to describe something really bad/hopeless/dumb, as in:
bloke1 "My head just imploded"
bloke2 "Jeez mate, that's a bit ordinary."
bloke1 "Yairs,
and my entire family just got taken by a crocodile"
bloke2 "Dead-set!?...crikey, how friggen ordinary is that?" eek:
