"Supped my tinny whilst yabbying"
Only one of those words is a word in the States!
I had to look up "yabbying."
And I'm assuming a tinny is some sort of small metal boat.
Also, for whatever reason, we don't say "whilst" in the States. We say "while."
None is right or wrong. Just interesting...
That's because we speak English over here - with a generous mix of Aussie slang.
Tinny - aluminium hull boat - nominally 10ft-17ft with or without a small outboard motor, but the slang can go up to commercial size trawlers when you have bragging rights.
Yabby - I think (from watching seppo telly) you guys call them crawfish?
