I guess most of us are familiar with no worries / mate / g'day but I was puzzled when I got a "see ya later" from the cashier/salesperson upon my purchase.
Cashier: Thank you very much .See ya later! (big smiles)
Me: thank you! ( big smile back + huh did we agree to meet later?later..??Hahha are we friends now...???walk out still puzzled )
Seriously I thought we did have an agreement which I may not be aware. In any case, it's just my ignorant wish and truth to be told it actually meant See You Again/Around kinda thing. It sure provided solidarity for a moment. Aussies are really very positive people as also reflected in their slang.
A pleasant culture shock Haha!
