Australian Word of the Non Specified Time Period: Heaps

You may have noticed that "heaps" has crept into my vocabulary here on the blog. Thats because "heaps" is...well, heaps good.

Basically, it means "very". I've heard, "Thats heaps good," or "That heaps awesome."

It can also mean a lot. "He got heaps of chips."

Its a simple word, so not a lot of length to this post. I'll probably be using this word when I get home as well, possible in some sort of fun Australian combination like this:

"That bloke over there is heaps dodgey."
