在外国学英语, 最有趣的大概就是可以听到很多俚语。 很多时候光听那些句子, 好像不容易马上可以会意出来他们在说什么, 听了几次后, 就慢慢可以了解这些俚语的含意了。不过, 不管什么语言, 都应该考虑到说话的对象、场合与时间, 有些俚语并不适合在正式的场合用。如：
a (good) kay and a half:
One and a half kilometres; the distance to anywhere from anywhere else; a long way.
Example: Where's Christie's Beach? About a kay and a half that way.
How far are we from home? We'd be a good kay and a half, I reckon.
A Buck One-Eighty:
You have A Buck Three-Eighty. I have always heard it this way--so there's a variant.
Example: Wonder if a buck three-eighty is actually the same amount as a buck one-eighty?
a buck three eighty:
The price for anything.
Example: Q: How much is this, sir? A: That's a buck three eighty.
