Australian slang
This is really an off-topic for a travel board. But today I was asked what the Australian slang was for animal roadkill. I think it is the same name, but hopefully someone can enlighten me. Thanks Jean

It possibly depends on how long the the length of time after the incident. When fresh, after being hit by a road train, "hairy carpaccio" is an apt name but, after a day or so, "biltong" is more appropriate.

Yes, nana, Pie and Dead Horse = here our word for ketchup which is sauce [usually of the tomato variety for pies]
It comes from our penchant for poetry!
Is that a ring from Dog and Bone?
If so pick up the bloody Phone
And by Pie, the standard personal size is about a 3"-4" diameter pastry cup ~1.5" in depth, filled with your filling of choice and a pastry lid or with cottage pies, topped with mashed potato, and lots of varieties these days but initial standard ones were just a meat mince.
