trackie-daks

trackie-daks are the bottom half of the tracksuit, not the whole. the whole tracksuit is the trackie; the pants are the trackie-daks. but Random's example is unsurpassable :)

they wouldn't let me into the Rissole wearing me trackie-daks and thongs.

Pokie

in Australia, definitely a Poker Machine, but we rarely use the word 'Poker' to describe someone who uses (or abuses) a Pokie. nor do we say 'go for a poke' which sounds more like a sexual connotation over here ;) most often used in the plural, Pokies.

we went down to the Rissole to have a beer and play the Pokies for a while.
