Do you speak English? Vol.2

Another word I picked up from the conversation with a British client lately:
  • arvo /ˈɑːvəʊ/noun, austral informal afternoon
And while looking for the previous one I had to look the next one as well:

  • austral /ˈɔːstrəl/adj: of or coming from the south: austral winds
Etymology: 14th Century: from Latin austrālis, from auster the south wind
