#work

A day off work claiming illness — often when you're not actually sick.

Hard work — usually 'hard yakka', meaning genuine physical graft.

Lunfardo for 'to work', lifted straight from Italian immigrants' lavorare.

A tradesperson — sparky, chippy, plumber, the blokes and women who build the country.

A lazy person who avoids work and lives off others — the Aussie word for a freeloader.
