Ausdevil Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Gd´day from Australia, my name is Chris and I am new to this bunch of people here. I live in the beautiful Victoria in Australia, more exactly in Melbourne. I love to go out in the bush do some fishing, photography (obviously), old sailors fancy work with ropes and I have a bit of a passion for old but good technology like kerosene pressure lamps and stoves. I came to Australia little more than 3 years ago from Germany. After 3 years in Australia I could not find a reasonable argument to go back to Germany , so I stayed in Oz and followed my heart. That´s it! OK not completely but enough for now I reckon Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 "I reckon"? Is that a German expression or an Australian expression? Or is it maybe a mathematical or geographical expression? I've spent time in Germany and Australia, and I would not mind spending some more time in both. Welcome to the Land of Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausdevil Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Hello, thank you for your welcome! I reckon: It is a casual way of saying, "I think". As in,"I reckon it might rain later.""I reckon its going to be a hot summer.""I reckon its time to throw a shrimp on the barbie." There is a big misunderstanding about the last one! Nobody I know would throw a shrimp on the barbie! It is called "A PRAWN" here. There are some things over here like: "Dried like a dead dingos don...!" (means very thirsty) Cheers C.
