More Aussie-isms.
To rock up: to show up, especially at a social event. "You all go on to the pub; I'll rock up in a half hour or so."
To shit: to bother. "That new guy may be smart, but he really shits me."
Ye: you (plural). Actually, I think this is an Irishism. "You can work on this by yourself, or the two of ye can finish it together."
Upon noticing my Irish coworker using this last one, I told her the similar rule used in the Southern US: "y'all" is singular, "all y'all" is plural. She got a big kick out of that.
