Another term for a male kangaroo, particularly in Australia. Occasionally, but not normally used in daily language - rather when being colloquial or conforming to stereotypes.

afternoon tea

Australian term for a mid-to-late snack in the afternoon. Typically eaten when one comes home from school, or during a work meal break. Does not actually mean the drink tea is consumed - generally sweet, lighter foods such as cakes, scrolls, or biscuits.

I can't wait to have afternoon tea, I'm starving.
