I always say "no worries". Or even, "it's all good". I'm pretty sure I don't know many Aussies either...

"its all good" is a term used by mainly younger(25 and under) Australians. Us 40ish Australians have a slightly better grasp.. ;-)

Same thing here. I also often say 'Cheers' or sign a letter that way. I deal with all sorts of people all day so I think I communicate differently depending who I am talking to.

I recently came back from a season on a B.C. ski hill.. to work in a primary school in Oz... it's hilarious how fast the kids are picking up "RIGHT ON!"

Ditto #24. I am going to start using "lorry" just to start a new trend.

"Right on" isn't typically used in Oz?
