    I have a pretty thick Aussie accent, and I have accepted that nobody has a clue what the hell I'm talking about when I travel, but they assume I'm gonna be a good time, and that's all I need 😂

      I also haven't been to New Zealand, but I do realise that Australia and New Zealand have their cultural similarities, I just hadn't known that that had also included some of these phrases so thank you for teaching me something new!

      I agree the proper meaning of chockers is full.
      Like really full .. can't take any more.
      if the shops were chockers .. kind of means it's busy though (full of people)

    I worked the front counter in a convenience store on the corner leading out of town and had a brief convo with the bloke about where he and his missus were going on their holiday

    My grand mothers best friend from the early forties until they passed of old age. A third generation Chinese Australian woman whom worked as a cook in the out back of Australia on cattle and sheep station's. The charming little lady could speak seven language's. "Strine", and six aboriginal dialects. Not English or Chinese. Strine is a rhyming slang like the English style but with an aussie twist, of course. I met her when she was ninety seven years old. I was six. I had not one clue as to what she was saying, her grand daughter had to translate so we could have a conversation. She was wonderful to talk with. R.I.P Aunty Bee.

    Chockers/Chockerblock means full. Not busy. In the context he was using it it's correct, but you wouldn't say for instance "I was chockers at work today" cause you were busy. But you might say that you were chockers if you ate too much, or that work was chockers cause the place was full of customers. A bus is chockers cause every seat is full.
    The Aussie expression for busy (as in you got a lot you have/had to do) is flat out like a lizard drinking, or just flat out for sure. Alternative is flat knacka
