naruto100's Travel challenge
Summary: Um… I don’t even think claiming to be on three kinds of medication vindicates this one.
They had come into the building expecting convicts. They came to this PLACE to find convicts. Instead, Team 7 was greeted with a big man nearly spilling Sasuke and Naruto over with a mighty, “AVO!”
“Ow.” Said Naruto.
“Is this,” Sakura asked slowly, “the right place?”
“Here now, that’s a fine sheila there. Hey you blokes, make way! The drought looks to be over!” The pub, lined wall to wall with men, raised their tinnies and cheered almost hard enough to blow out the walls.
“Er, okay…”
Naruto leaned over to Sasuke. “Where’s Kakashi-sensei? He said he was going to be here! And are these guys speaking English? I can hear what they’re saying but I don’t understand anything!”
The man from before- apparent owner of the pub –pulled the two boys to their feet. “You two a pair of poofters or you just flat out like a lizard drinking, blocking the dunny like that!”
Naruto jabbed a finger at Sasuke. “Don’t you DARE tell me you understood that!” Sasuke’s eyebrow twitched but he said nothing.
Sakura, sandwiched between two large and powerfully smelling men, asked timidly, “Excuse me, but isn’t this the island that had all the convicts sent to?”
“No canaries left here, sheila. Unless you count the whinging pommies and pollie bastards!”
From the other end of the bar, someone said “Wadda want, my shout!”
What sounded like a tiny and intimidated Naruto said, “Er, but we-“
“No worries, mates! No bludgers here!”
Sasuke’s voice piped in. “But we’re not old enough to dri-“
A hand clapped heavily over his mouth. “We just got rid of the last wowser, mate. No worries, right? A jug of XXXX, mate!” Two empty glasses slammed down in front of the boys. “Ya gotta be on the piss to be fair dinkum!”
Sakura groaned. Looks like she’d be (yet again) the only sober one of the group.

Okay, let's see if I can translate everything...
Avo - short for good afternoon
Sheila - girl (generally a term defined as 'derogatory' nowadays)
Bloke - sort of like 'dude' or 'guy'
Drought - means 'short of women'
Poofters - wimps, girly men, fairies
Flat out like a lizard drinking - meaning, more or less, you're useless
Dunny - toilet
Cannary - convict, in reference to their yellow uniforms
Whinging - verb, not easily deciferable
Pommy - general refering to englishmen
Pollie - politicians
Wadda want, my shout - Buying a round of drinks
Shout - a guy buys drinks for his friends, after, someone else buys a round (shout), etc., until the night ends (so everyone buys a round in order)
Bludger - someone ducks out before their shout
Wowser - sort of 'holier-than-thou' type guy, moralistic, wetblanket
Jug of XXXX(four x)- a pitcher of beer
On the piss - drinking
Fair dinkum - good guy, buddy
And in case you haven't guessed, this is Australia XD
